A
Maheshwari Saris
💡 Explanation:
Rani Ahilya Bai Holkar introduced the Maheshwari sarees, named after the town of Maheshwar on the Narmada River, which was part of her kingdom. These sarees are known for their distinctive light weight, reversible border, and elegant simplicity. Chanderi is from Madhya Pradesh but not introduced by her, while Paithani is from Maharashtra and Tussar is a type of silk, not a regional style.
