Exam Strategy
UPSC tests specific regional textile traditions, their materials (silk, cotton, wool), weaving techniques (handloom, block print, ikat), and geographical origins. Questions focus on identifying craft by state/region and distinguishing between techniques. Common error: confusing similar crafts across states or mixing up natural vs synthetic fibres.
