At the 2006 census, its population was 42,057 in 11,045 households.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 44,846 people in 13,353 households.[5] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 45,031 people in 13,953 households.[2]
Sarab is famous for its rugs.[6]
The rugs of Sarab, which are also classified among those known as Heriz, have light, rather bright colour schemes. The usual adjective for “of Sarab” would be “Sarab-i”, this changed to “Serapi”. In 1876, about the time that Sarabi rugs were coming on the market in England, the Prince of Wales made a trip to India on H.M.S. Serapis. The similarity of the names led to the form “Serapi” for the rugs.[7]
