Gotra Name Details

Gotra is a term used in Hinduism to denote a person's lineage or clan. It is believed that individuals belonging to the same gotra share a common ancestor. The Gotra system is primarily followed in Hindu marriages to ensure that individuals from the same gotra do not marry each other, as it is considered to be against societal norms. The practice of identifying and maintaining gotras has been prevalent in Hindu society for centuries.
