Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Gujarat. Pithora Painting of Gujarat has recently received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag for protecting its authenticity and tribal identity. Pithora Painting is an ancient ritual wall painting tradition mainly practiced by the Rathwa, Bhilala, and Nayak tribes. The paintings are traditionally created inside houses to worship Baba Pithora, who is believed to bless devotees with prosperity, health, peace, and good fortune. Major motifs in Pithora Painting include horses, tribal deities, the Sun, the Moon, animals, birds, plants, agriculture, and daily life. The GI tag helps tribal artisans by improving market recognition, product authenticity, and fair remuneration. GI recognition expands opportunities for national exhibitions, international fairs, export markets, e-commerce platforms, and handicraft promotion. The GI tag reduces the dependence of artisans on intermediaries by encouraging direct market access and stronger branding. The recognition strengthens the conservation of India's intangible tribal cultural heritage by encouraging younger generations to preserve the tradition.
