Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Indian traditional textiles are often named after their region of origin or the specific weaving/dyeing technique unique to that culture.

Step 1: Match textiles to their geographic origins.

• Kinkhab (A): A heavy, opulent gold and silver brocade traditionally woven in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. It is the most famous variety of Banarasi silk.
• Paithani (B): A hand-woven silk sari with a characteristic oblique square design on the border and a peacock design on the pallu, originating from Paithan, Maharashtra.
• Gharcholu (C): A traditional wedding sari from Gujarat, typically featuring a grid pattern made by tie-dye (Bandhani) on a woven fabric.
• Mothra (D): A variation of the Lehariya tie-dye technique from Rajasthan, where diagonal lines intersect to create a "lentil" or checkered effect.
