Question

The famous 'Pochampally' embroidery is related to which of the following state of India?

• A. Tamil Nadu
• B. Telangana
• C. West Bengal
• D. Gujarat

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:

• Pochampally is a small town in the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, famous worldwide for its ikat-dyed fabric.
• This craft carries a Geographical Indication (GI) tag under the name Pochampally Ikat.
• Pochampally fell in undivided Andhra Pradesh earlier, but after the 2014 state bifurcation it lies in Telangana.
• Each state given in the options is tied to a different, well known craft: Tamil Nadu to Kanjeevaram silk, West Bengal to Baluchari and Jamdani, Gujarat to Patola and Bandhani.

Step 1: Locate the craft geographically.
Pochampally is a specific village/town, so the state it sits in is the answer we need, not the craft technique itself.

Step 2: Place it on the map.
Pochampally is in the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, which is part of present-day Telangana state.

Step 3: Eliminate the other three states using their own signature crafts.
Tamil Nadu is known for Kanjeevaram silk, West Bengal for Baluchari/Jamdani, and Gujarat for Patola and Bandhani, none of these are Pochampally's home state.

Final Answer: Telangana
