Q. Risa Textile, which has recently received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, belongs to which state?
Answer: Tripura
Notes: Tripura's traditional tribal attire, 'risa,' has been granted the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. This handwoven cloth serves as a female upper garment, headgear, stole, and a gesture of respect. Adorning vibrant designs, it holds social and religious significance, notably in Garia Puja and weddings. Young girls receive their first risa at the Risa Sormani ceremony. Used creatively, it doubles as a makeshift hanger and an honorific gift. This cultural symbol is integral to the attire of Tripura's 19 indigenous tribal communities.
