Sacred Signatures: A Handbook of Uttarakhand’s Geographical Indications is born from a simple but urgent conviction — that the extraordinary heritage of this state deserves to be known, celebrated, and protected. A Geographical Indication (GI) tag is not a bureaucratic label. It is a legal declaration of uniqueness, a formal acknowledgement that a product is inseparable from the landscape and culture that created it. This handbook documents twenty-six registered GI products of Uttarakhand. Each product is a chapter in the same story — one of resilience, ingenuity, and an unbroken relationship between people and place.
