The bergamot used in carpets is sometimes considered to be the result of carpet weavers imitating the art of book decoration because, before the Safavid period, no carpet specimen with bergamot and elastic design could be found.
Toranjs are composed of Islamic and Khatai patterns, which are mostly in the shape of circles and ovals but can also be seen in the shape of rhombuses, etc. Sometimes bergamot in the carpet is known as the sun in the sky and sometimes it is referred to as a pond in the middle of Golestan.
