Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Puthukkuli (Poothkuli) shawls are woven and embroidered by the Toda tribe of the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu, so Pair 1 is correct. Sujni (Sujani) embroidery originates from Muzaffarpur in Bihar, not Maharashtra, and Uppada Jamdani saris are hand-woven in Uppada, East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, not Karnataka; therefore Pairs 2 and 3 are incorrect. Hence only Pair 1 is correct. ([testbook.com](https://testbook.com/question-answer/consider-the-following-pairscrafth--5f3636967bcaa80d0e1dfd7d?utm_source=openai))
