Invisibles #14 Fakirani Jatts of Kutch

Fakirani Jatts of Kutch

The Fakirani Jatts of Kutch are a cattle breeding nomadic Muslim community, found in the Kutch region of Gujarat in India. The Fakirani follow a very austere form of religion in which they seek a life of utmost simplicity. Their houses are temporary structures made from a type of sea grass. They do not have floors or furniture, and electricity is prohibited to them. When the house starts to get infected by termites, they simply move on to another place. The Jatts are also known for their embroidery work.
