Users can explore state-specific textiles via a clickable map. Upon evaluation, the system demonstrated 94% accuracy in rendering state-based textile data correctly, with 92% user satisfaction during usability testing based on accessibility, interface design, and interactivity. Upon evaluation, the system demonstrated 94% accuracy in rendering state-based textile data correctly, with 92% user satisfaction during usability testing based on accessibility, interface design, and interactivity. 88% of test users found the map-based navigation intuitive and informative. Additionally, 85% of artisans participating in mock profile uploads were able to complete registration and listing tasks independently, indicating a strong potential for real-world adoption.
