Nain Rugs
Nain rugs are constructed using the persian knot and can be between 300 and 700 knots per inch. The pile is usually very high quality wool, clipped short and silk is most usually used as highlighting for parts of the detailing in the design. Some pieces are made entirely of silk. Nain rugs are often made in the areas surrounding the Nain town, not necessarily the town itself. Nains utilize the Shah Abbas design and make use of flowing design such as flowers and tendrils.

ABSTRACT
Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh in India, is a bustling 400-year-old metropolis with an urban population of 4.2 million people approximately. The energy use patterns in the city are changing with the adoption of modern lifestyles. With increased motorization for transport in Hyderabad, there is a need for better understanding the factors affecting traffic congestion leading to higher vehicular emissions. Air pollution from motor vehicles is one of the most serious and rapidly growing problems in the city of Hyderabad. Results of surveys conducted at five intersections in Hyderabad city revealed that concentrations of NOX, SOX, TSPM (Total suspended particulate matter), RSPM (Respirable suspended particulate matter) currently exceed the Central Pollution Control Board air quality standards.
The reduction of ambient air concentrations, because of the high level of vehicle emissions, is a prime requisite for the future sustainable use of the individual transportation vehicle. This paper aims to enhance the understanding of the factors affecting the ambient environment and correlate it to the traffic congestion at selected places in Hyderabad city. Such understanding might aid in the development of attainment strategies.
