In India, the most famous shawls are the Kashmir shawls and are highly popular in the western countries as well. The most noteworthy characteristic of the Kashmiri shawl is its elaborate design pattern, of which the "cone" pattern is the most prominent. It is a perfect integration of balance, rich color tones and contrasts, brilliance and depth. These characteristics are basically attributed to "pashmina", which is a fine, soft, short, flossy quality of wool found on the shawl-goat, a variety of Capra hircus inhabiting the elevated regions of Tibet. There are several varieties of pashmina, but the finest is a strict monopoly of the maharaja of Kashmir.

Besides the shapes and patterns, these shawls can be further classified into: loom woven shawls called tiliwalla, tilikar or kani kar - sometimes woven in one piece, but more often in small segments which are sewn together with such precision that the sewing is undetectable and the embroidered shawls called amlikar, in which over a ground of plain pashmina is worked upon by a needle to form minute and elaborate patterns.
