Solution :

Correct Answer: The correct option is 1 only.


Let us analyze each pair given in the question to determine its correctness:


1. Puthukkuli shawls — Tamil Nadu:
Puthukkuli (or Toda embroidery/Pukhoor) shawls are traditional embroidered shawls handcrafted by the Toda tribal community residing in the Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu. This embroidery style has received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag. Therefore, Pair 1 is correct.


2. Sujni embroidery — Maharashtra:
Sujni (or Sujini) embroidery is a traditional form of quilt craft and embroidery originating from the region of Bihar (specifically Muzaffarpur), not Maharashtra. It has also received GI status representing Bihar. Therefore, Pair 2 is incorrect.


3. Uppada Jamdani saris — Karnataka:
Uppada Jamdani saris are famous handloom saris produced in Uppada, a town located in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, not Karnataka. This craft is well known for its fine cotton and intricate Jamdani weaving style. Therefore, Pair 3 is incorrect.


Conclusion:
Since only Pair 1 is correctly matched, the correct choice is 1 only.
