Caste in Hinduism known for producing furniture and arts
Jangid is a title of carpenter caste known as Khati in India who, through a process of Sanskritisation, have the claim status of Brahmin. But this claim is not accepted by other Brahmins as they don't have rishi gotras which regulates the marriage alliance of Vedic Brahmins. They have a notable presence in the states of Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab and their traditional occupation was that of carpentry, especially woodcarving and furniture making. Today, the Jangid are usually known for painting and decorative works such as making seats or chariots for religious figurines. In some areas of Rajasthan they self styled themselves Shri Adi Gaur Brahmins . Kamlesh Mathur wrote in his book Crafts and Craftsmen: these artisans for safeguarding the interests of their community formed the self styled Sri Adi Gour Brahmin Brahmin Sculptors' Association.
