Gotra in Jainism is a social/clan lineage used mainly by lay Jains to denote ancestral lines. It is not a spiritual measure, and the importance of gotra varies by community (e.g., Oswal/Porwal, Agarwal, etc.). There is no single universal “Gangerawal Jain gotra” that applies to all Jains; gotras are community-specific and can differ from region to region. In brief, if your family uses the name Gangerwal, your gotra would be whichever lineage your family follows within your Jain community, not a fixed Jain rule.

• Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions both treat gotra as a social identifier, not a determinant of spiritual progress.
• The standard concept many communities follow is the “84 gotras” (chourasi gotra), though lists can vary by group. You can read more about the 84 gotras and how they’re used in practice here . You can also read about what Jain gotra means in general here .

If you want, tell me your specific Jain community (e.g., Oswal, Porwal, Agarwal) and region, and I can share which gotras are commonly listed for that group.
