Question

________ is a tie-dyed textile in cotton or silk, is red in colour and the layout is checker board pattern with woven gold threads.

• A. Chandrokhani
• B. Mothra
• C. Gharcholu
• D. Bandhini

Hint:

This red bridal tie dyed textile of Gujarat has gold zari lines dividing it into squares.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Pick out the clues:
The textile is tie dyed, in cotton or silk. It is red. The layout is a checker board pattern. It has woven gold threads.

Step 2: Recall the textile:
Gharcholu is a traditional tie dyed textile of Gujarat.
It is a red bridal sari or odhani. Gold zari threads divide it into small square checks.
Each square holds tie dyed motifs such as flowers, birds or elephants.
It is worn by Gujarati brides, especially at weddings.

Step 3: Why the other options are wrong:
Chandrokhani is a tie dyed sari with a moon-like pattern. It is not the red, gold-checked textile.
Mothra is a Rajasthani tie dye with a criss-cross or checked pattern. It has no woven gold threads.
Bandhini is the general name for tie dye. It does not describe this one layout.

Final Answer:
The textile is Gharcholu, option (C).
