In this community, women wear an embroidered Choliand jacket after their marriage. Their embroidery style is mainly referred to as Pakko (which is predominantly used) and also comprises other stitches such as Neran, Kharek, Kambhiri. Their patterns are similar to that of Meghwar. Other than the embroidery, they do patch-work and applique. The Rajputs, who are historically the protector-warriors, as a community are conservative. The women of these clans are not allowed to go outside their faliya (colony). Embroidery is the only livelihood option for women of this densely populated community and hence comprises a fairly large share of Qasab??s creations.
