I saw this type of toilet (see image 2) in North India. The commode is same as most of the others. But I couldn't find the jet (see image 1) which is generally attached with the seat.
So I'm wondering how do you clean yourself once you're done (image 2)?

It's easy, use the hose, direct it to your private area (do not insert it there, of course), press and get yourself cleaned.
This answer explains how to use the hose.

See the thing on the left. This is known as Muslim Shower. I guess mostly used by Muslims. It is used to clean your dirty areas.

Common in Finland too. Colloquially called (swearing warning)
"pillupuhelin" ("pussy phone" in English). Never heard anyone say that in English except to translate the term.)
I hope that's ok to say as it's relatively commonly used. Checked with google, 85000 hits.
Also called "käsisuihku" though that also means regular, hand held showering shower, ("hand shower") with 153000 hits.
"Ala(pesu)suihku" ("bidet shower". "down(washing)shower" literally), combined 2600 hits.
