This fabric is produced in Iran and Kashmir and is highly popular due to its delicate and complex designs.
The exact origin of termeh is uncertain, and researchers are divided on whether its production first started in Iran or Kashmir. Generally, Iranian designs like paisley were introduced to India during the Safavid period and had a significant influence on the design of Kashmiri shawls.
