Mahal

Mahal is a trade name for village carpets of varying quality from the neighbourhood of Arak (formerly Sultanabad) in western Iran. Britannica records that Sarouk and Mahal carpets succeeded the older Farahan production in the district, and groups Mahal with Mushkabad as Arak-area trade names.
