Consider the following towns of India : 1. Bhadrachalam 2. Chanderi 3. Kancheepuram 4. Karnal Which of the above are famous for the production of traditional sarees/fabric?

Gives a specific list of silk textile centres in Andhra Pradesh (Anantapur, Chittor, Karimnagar, Vishakhapatnam, Warangal), implying textile fame in the state is concentrated in known towns.

A student could check whether Bhadrachalam appears on similar official or textbook lists of textile centres in Andhra Pradesh or regional maps; absence would weaken the claim.

Lists well-known sari types and their associated places (e.g., Banarasi, Kanjivaram, Paithani), illustrating that famous sarees are usually tied to particular named centres.

Compare lists of famous saree-producing towns with Bhadrachalam; if Bhadrachalam is not associated with a named sari type, it is less likely to be widely famous for sarees.

Uses Surat as an example of a major, well-known textile hub, showing that textile production fame is typically associated with large, named industrial or market centres.

A student could assess whether Bhadrachalam has comparable textile market infrastructure or historical trade prominence (e.g., mills, power-loom clusters) to known hubs like Surat.

Explains that India had many regional centres producing cotton fabrics and that weaving was spread across rural areas, implying one should look for documented production centres to claim fame.

Use this rule to seek documentary evidence (textbook lists, trade records, local industry mentions) that Bhadrachalam functions as such a recognised production centre.

Notes historical references (Arthashastra) that associate specific regions with specialised textiles, indicating the common pattern of tying textile fame to named regions.

Extend by checking historical or cultural sources for any traditional association between Bhadrachalam and a specialised textile to support or refute the claim.
