Hello all.
Could any one please paraphrase the highlighted part? Specially the meaning of underlined words in this very context

Carpet-sellers honed their skills, as did purveyors of anything remotely embroidered while the houseboats initiated by the British Raj provided unusual accommodation. The economy boomed.
