Mathura Zari Dress and Meerut Trumpet Receive GI Tag

Imagine special clothes made with shiny threads in a city called Mathura, which are connected to a famous story about a god.

Also, there are trumpets made in a city called Meerut, which is famous for making musical instruments and was important a long time ago.

A special person who helps protect unique crafts announced that both these things, the special clothes and the trumpets, have now been officially recognized.

This means they have a special mark, like a stamp of approval, that says they are from these specific places and are made in a special way.

This helps make sure people keep making them the right way and people know where they come from.

Craftsmen in Mathura and people who make instruments in Meerut are very happy about this recognition.
