🪵 Tarkhan — Master Carpenters of Punjab

Builders by blood. Craftsmen by heritage.

The Jheeta family are Tarkhans — the master carpenter caste of Punjab, whose skills built temples, palaces and villages for centuries. Baba Lalo, one of the very first Sikhs of Guru Nanak, was himself a Tarkhan. That same spirit of craft and building runs through this family to this day — from the fields of Bir Pind to the streets of Britain.
