The Jangid Brahmins are a Brahmin jāti (sub-caste) in India, particularly Rajasthan, historically known for interior designing, especially woodcarving and furninture making. Following Sanskritisation, they were associated with the Brahmin varna. Today, the Jangid are usually known for painting[1][2][3] and decorative works such as making seats or chariots for religious figurines.[4]
