Jaldar design originated in Pakistan with inspiration from traditional Sarouk and Yamud designs. A typical Jaldar design is often in silk and wool. They are famous for their thick wool pile and beautiful sheen, and the feel of the wool is soft and velvety, with a very dense, hand-knotted pile. Jaldar rugs are normally distinguished by their characteristic red to red-brown background color, with white, beige, black and blue are other colors commonly used.
