Explanation

The textile industry in India is distributed across specialized regional clusters. Ludhiana in Punjab is a premier hub for woolen textiles and hosiery, accounting for a significant portion of India's winter wear production [2]. Davangere in Karnataka is a well-known center for the cotton textile industry, supported by the state's extensive cotton cultivation. Sualkuchi, located in Assam, is globally renowned as the 'Manchester of the East' for its traditional silk textile industry, particularly Muga and Pat silk. Rishra, situated along the Hooghly River in West Bengal, holds historical significance as the site of India's first jute mill established in 1855, and remains a critical center for the jute textile industry [2]. Matching these locations (Woolen-Ludhiana, Cotton-Davangere, Silk-Sualkuchi, Jute-Rishra) corresponds to the sequence 3-4-1-2.
