Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mizoram.

The traditional textile variety ‘Pawnpui’ is from the state of Mizoram, nestled in Northeast India. Pawndum (also spelled “Pawnpui”) is an essential textile of the Mizo tribe, woven on traditional loin looms for both men and women. It features a distinctive black background with bold red and grey stripes, and is culturally significant—used as dowry, in mourning practices, and in ceremonial attire .

Other options:

  • Punjab: Famous for Phulkari embroidery, not Pawnpui.

  • Arunachal Pradesh: Traditional textiles include Mushaiks and Gurdams, not Pawnpui.

  • Himachal Pradesh: Known for Kinnauri shawls, not Pawnpui.
