Geographical Indications registration gives to the registered proprietor and its authorised users, the legal right to the exclusive use of the GI and also the right to obtain relief in case of its infringement. Exclusion of unauthorized persons from misusing GI would ensure that genuine products of the rightful producers are marketed.
Darjeeling tea is among the 28 Indian products registered with the Geographical Indications (GI) Registry. (Darjeeling tea has been registered twice in the GI Registry).
The other products are: Pochampally Ikat (Andhra Pradesh); Chanderi saree (Guna, Madhya Pradesh); Kotpad Handloom fabric (Koraput, Orissa); Kota Doria (Kota, Rajasthan); Kancheepuram silk (Tamil Nadu); Bhavani Jamakkalam (Erode, Tamil Nadu); Mysore Agarbathi (Mysore, Karnataka); Aranmula Kannadi (Kerala); Salem fabric (Tamil Nadu); Solapur terry towel (Maharashtra); Mysore silk (Karnataka); Kullu shawl (Himachal Pradesh); Madurai Sungudi (Tamil Nadu); Kangra tea (Himachal Pradesh); Coorg Orange (Karnataka); Mysore betel leaf (Karnataka); Nanjanagud banana (Karnataka); Mysore sandalwood oil (Karnataka); Mysore sandal soap (Karnataka); Bidriware (Karnataka); Channapatna toys & dolls (Karnataka); Coimbatore wet grinder (Tamil Nadu); Mysore rosewood inlay (Karnataka); Kasuti embroidery (Karnataka); Mysore traditional paintings (Karnataka) and Orissa Ikat (Orissa).
Aditya's Note:
This is a clear indication of how Art & Architecture was duly given importance by the Wodeyars and other rulers of Mysore State - We must note that Mysore was a State and had a larger geographical area, probably a good reason for so many indicators. But feels proud to be from such a culturally rich place. In addition we see that there are several other references to Karnataka like Bidari Work (Bidar Dist), Channapatna Toys (Bangalore Dist), Coorg Orange (Kodagu Dist), Kasute Embroidery (not sure where it is from ! )
