The Jats are a conglomeration of peoples who live in parts of Pakistan and northwestern India (Haryana, Gujarat, Kutch, and Rajasthan). Traditionally they make their living by herding or farming. The diversity of the Jats means that they may be Hindus, Muslims, or Sikhs. The Kutch Jats are known for their embroidery work, which comes in a diversity of forms. One of the most well-known forms of Kutch Jat embroidery is characterized by its use of counted thread work using tiny cross stitches worked in geometric patterns. Sometimes their work is further embellished with small mirrors (shisha)
