Explanation

Puthukkuli shawls are indeed a traditional textile craft heritage of Tamil Nadu, known for their distinctive patterns and weaving. Sujni embroidery is actually from Bihar (particularly associated with South Bihar regions), not Maharashtra; this statement is incorrect. Uppada Jamdani saris are a traditional craft heritage of Andhra Pradesh (specifically from the Uppada village in Nellore district), not Karnataka; this statement is also incorrect. Only the first pair is correctly matched. > Craft Heritage: Puthukkuli (Tamil Nadu), Sujni (Bihar), Jamdani (Andhra Pradesh).
