A jamawar is a special type of shawl hand made by the craftsmen in Kashmir. The jamawar design is a special floral pattern which resembles the mango fruit. Historically, it was made by hand and some shawls took a couple of decades to complete. The task of creating a jamawar shawl further complicated as the designs on these shawls are realized not by embroidery but by the simultaneous weaving with wool shuttles of different colors. These shuttles known as kaani in the local language gives Jamawar another name kaani shawl.
