Answer 1

The correct answer is Karur.

Key Points

Karur
- Karur is famous for home textiles (bedsheets, towels, curtains) and is a major export hub.
- It is often called the "Home Textile Capital of India", not the overall textile capital.
- The city specializes in woven fabrics, unlike Tirupur’s knitwear dominance.
- Karur’s textile industry is significant but smaller in export volume compared to Tirupur.
