“Golapurav / Golapurva” generally does not refer to a shastriya (scriptural) Jain “gotra”; it is the name of a Digambar Jain community.

Very simple points:

1. In Jain scriptures

- “Gotra” is mainly a type of karma (gotra‑karma) – ucc‑gotra (high status) and nīc‑gotra (low status). - This is a karmic category, not a family surname or caste label.

1. In social usage

- Many Jain lay communities use words like gotra / jati / samaj for family or community identification and for marriage rules. - These names are social and regional, not part of core Jain philosophy.

1. Golapurav (Golapurva)

- “Golapurav” is known as an ancient Digambar Jain community, historically linked to the Bundelkhand region (MP–UP side). - So if someone says, “We are Golapurav Jains,” they are usually talking about their community/samaj, not a scriptural gotra like in the sense of gotra‑karma.

1. Important

- There is no one fixed, universal list of Jain gotras for all Jains. - Names like Golapurav are community identifiers, respected within Jain society, but they are not a doctrinal requirement for spiritual progress.
