The Weavers of the village of Salawas belong to the prajapati caste. Although their main source of income was agriculture, they also practiced pottery and the weaving of jatpatti rugs. These plain weft faced durries woven with coarse goal or camel hair derive their name from jhat, literally meaning haste, with which they could be executed. The jattpati were initially used as covering for domestic animals during winters, as saddle bags, as filter s for oil mills and for making tents. The tradionally used animal hair was replaced with cotton fiber in 1977 and these dhurries began to be sold to a small segment of the domestic market. The craftsmen began experimenting with stripes, geometrical and stylized natural forms such as the Kangasi (comb), teerarroe head), tota(arrot) chidia(sparrow) abd chaukadi(rhombus).variously colored yarns are laboriously individually inserted to create these forms, thus also ensuring that the Dhurries is reversible .As these dhurries acquired recognition they came to be know as panja dhurries due to the use of panja ,a comb like beating tool.
