    Question

    Which of the following traditional art/textile pairings is

    incorrectly matched?
    A Dabu Printing - Rajasthan Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Sungadi - Tamil Nadu Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Jadu Patua - Bihar Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Kani Shawl - Jammu and Kashmir Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The pairing of Jadu Patua with Bihar is incorrect. Jadu Patua is actually an indigenous scroll painting tradition practiced by the Jadu community in Jharkhand, not Bihar. The other pairings are accurate: Dabu printing is a traditional mud-resist block printing technique from Rajasthan; Sungadi is a tie-resist dyeing method indigenous to Tamil Nadu; and Kani Shawls are exquisite textiles from Jammu and Kashmir crafted using fine Pashmina wool harvested from Tibetan and Ladakhi mountain goats.
