UPSC IAS – 2015
Banaras Brocades and Sarees (1) and Tirupathi Laddu (3) have been accorded Geographical Indication (GI) status.
A Geographical Indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin.
Banaras Brocades and Sarees are famous traditional textiles from the Varanasi region. Tirupathi Laddu is a famous sweet Prasad from the Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, Tirupathi. Both have received GI tags acknowledging their unique geographical origin and associated traditional craftsmanship or reputation. Rajasthani Daal-Bati-Churma is a popular culinary dish from Rajasthan but does not have a GI tag, as GI status is generally not granted to generic culinary preparations unless they have a very specific unique characteristic tied to the geography (like Darjeeling Tea leaves).
