Consider the following towns of India : 1. Bhadrachalam 2. Chanderi 3. Kancheepuram 4. Karnal Which of the above are famous for the production of traditional sarees/fabric?
A
1 and 2 only
B
2 and 3 only
Correct Answer
C
1, 2 and 3
D
1, 3 and 4
Explanation
Chanderi and Kancheepuram are globally renowned textile hubs famous for their unique silk and cotton sarees, both of which hold Geographical Indication (GI) tags. Option (c) is the most tempting distractor, but Bhadrachalam is primarily a pilgrimage site known for its Rama temple rather than a major saree production center. The core concept tested is the geographical distribution of India's traditional handicraft clusters and GI-tagged products.
