Jamawar is the Indian word for jacquard designs in Indian floral motifs are woven within the fabric. These look like paisley, but are much lighter, and therefore preferred for day to day casual wear

Product Description
Jamawar Wool Shawl Scarf Jacquard Design.
The literal meaning of jamawar is "grown piece", the technical and trade name for a shawl cloth or long shawl. Such pieces are woven on loom and have an intricate pattern. The tapestry technique is used throughout for weaving jamawar. Briefly, the jamawar tapestry shawl has several elements such as various borders, woven panels, and embroidered fringes. The most striking feature is the floral design of small repeated patterns or stripes on the entire fields. According to Microcroft's long list of trade fabrics, there are an infinite number of designs met with in the jamawars, but he describes only three. The main two are rega-buta and kirkh-buties. Rega-buta involves small flower motifs, while kirkh-buties have large flower motifs. The third involves jaldars, patterns that assume net like forms. All these motifs are a repeat of the patterns described in literature and noticed in the eighteenthnineteenth century miniature paintings and costumes.
