Which district in Rajasthan is known as the 'Textile City of India' and contributes significantly to the state's cotton and fabric production?
Jaipur
Pali
Bhilwara
Balotra
Answer and explanation
Bhilwara is widely recognised as the 'Textile City of India' due to its large-scale production of synthetic fabrics, polyester-viscose blended yarn, and cotton textiles. The city hosts numerous spinning, weaving, and dyeing units and exports to markets including the USA and Europe. Other Rajasthan textile cities — Pali (dyeing/printing), Balotra (hand-block printing), and Jaipur (traditional handicrafts) — are notable but do not match Bhilwara's industrial scale.
