Answer
Rogan Art pairs with the Kutch region of Gujarat and the Khatri community; Kasuti Embroidery pairs with Karnataka and geometric motifs on Ilkal sarees; Sujani Craft pairs with Bihar and narrative embroidered quilts; Toda Pukhoor pairs with the Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu and tribal red-and-black embroidery.
The pairings are historically and culturally accurate: Rogan art is native to Kutch (Gujarat) practiced by the Khatri community; Kasuti embroidery is indigenous to North Karnataka and closely linked with Ilkal sarees; Sujani is a celebrated narrative quilting tradition of Bihar; and Pukhoor is the distinctive geometric red-and-black shawl embroidery of the Toda tribe of the Nilgiris (Tamil Nadu).
