Mir Syed Ali Hamandi, a Persian mystic, introduced papier-maché to India in the 14th Century while traveling in Kashmir.. Over time, Kashmiri artisans added their own flourishes, and thus developed the tradition of Kashmiri design. 

The first step, Sakhtsazi, involves making the foundation of the object with paper pulp: papier-maché. The second, Naqashi, is the final step of decoration—painting and lacquering. The colors are derived from minerals or vegetable bases. Because each design is made by hand, this means that no Kashmiri papier-maché object is exactly the same.
