Name the kuldevi of Khatod
For the surname Khatod, there is no single fixed Kuldevi for all families in Jain tradition.
In Jain Dharma:
- Kuldevi/Kuldevta is decided by each family lineage (gotra), village, and ancestral derasar, not by surname alone.
- Even if two families have the same surname “Khatod”, their Kuldevi can be different.
- Our main worship is always of Tirthankaras; Kuldevi (usually a Shasan Devi or local deity) is only a family protector, followed as a cultural tradition.
To know the exact Kuldevi for your Khatod family, you will need to:
- Ask elders in your family (especially who know old rituals, weddings, etc.).
- Check old family records (vahivat / kul‑patrika).
- Inquire at your ancestral derasar or with your community/mandal; often the Kuldevi name is known there.
