Article was merged.
Other problems: - The farsh-i-chandani carpet is only mentioned in a couple of sentences; I don't see why this article has been split off from
Nur Jahan#Patron of the arts and architecture.
Other problems: - The hook and the alt were pretty much identical, so I have removed the ALT; I also edited the main hook for better grammar. However, the hook states that the Farsh-i-chandani was designed by
Nur Jahan, whereas the cited book merely states that "she is credited with popularising [it] in the Mughal harem".
Overall: The alt could be altered to something like "popularised" instead of "designed", and the image could be removed/made clearer, but bigger problems exist with the scope of the article. I am half tempted to place a merge proposal to

User:AirshipJungleman29 Nur Jahan made noteworthy contributions across multiple domains, including textiles and architecture. For her father Mirz Ghiys Beg, Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, commissioned the mausoleum i.e
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah. The field of
textiles is expansive, encompassing a diverse array of materials and applications. Within this realm, she was involved in designing dresses and modifying various fabrics. The category of carpets encompasses a diverse range of rugs and floor coverings. One of Nur Jahan's notable contributions was in the design of the Farsh I Chandani, a distinctive floor covering that has garnered attention for its unique features and merits a
dedicated article.
Picture removed.
Source provided that says it was designed by Nur Jahan.
