Painting of two Jats from the Punjab Plains

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A painting in opaque watercolour on paper of two Jat (also transliterated as Jatt, Jutt, Jut, and Jaat) cultivators from the Punjab Plains region.

"Two men walk across a landscape, dressed in white loincloths, white turban bands and black and white shawls. They carry forked sticks. The painting is typical of works done in the Punjab, the region now divided between India and Pakistan, in the 1840s. The men are cultivators, and probably Jats, who widely converted to Sikhism. Their cut hair suggests that these men were Hindus, as conventional portraiture of the time makes a clear distinction between Sikh men with their uncut hair gathered into a topknot underneath their turban, and Hindus or Muslims, whose cut hair is usually shown underneath any head covering." - V&A Museum
