Jat culture and traditions

Jat culture is rooted in North India and Pakistan, traditionally comprising agricultural communities with a strong emphasis on honor, valor, and community bonds. They value kinship, folklore, and rituals, often celebrating festivals like Lohri and Baisakhi with music, dance, and feasts. Jats uphold martial virtues and have a history of military service. Their traditions include respectful social structures, elders’ guidance, and pride in their rural heritage. While customs may vary regionally, Jat culture fundamentally celebrates resilience, teamwork, and cultural identity through collective celebrations and maintaining traditional practices.
