“Joti” surname ke liye koi ek fix ya universal Jain Kuldevi nahin hoti. Jain paramparā meṅ Kuldevi / Kuldev hameshā:

• Gotra (वंश)
• Purkhon kā gāṁv / ilāqā (ancestral village / town)
• Family ki apnī paramparā

par depend kartī hai, sirf surname par nahin.

Jain dharm ke kuchh important points:

1. Mukhya āśray Tirthankar hain

Kuldevi ya Shasan‑Devi (Ambika, Padmavati, Chakreshwari, Jwalamalini, Suswani adi) ko rakshak ke rūp meṅ mānā jātā hai, par śaraṇ to Arihant–Siddha–Achārya–Upādhyāy–Sādhu meṅ hi mānī jātī hai.

1. Joti surname ke andar bhi alag‑alag parivār, alag Kuldevi rakh sakte hain

Ek Joti parivār Ambika māne, dūsrā Padmavati, tisrā koi aur local devi – yeh sab possible hai. Isliye koi ek “Joti Kuldevi” bata denā śāstron se siddh nahin hai.

1. Apne parivār ki asli Kuldevi kaise pata kareṅ?

- Ghar ke buzurgon se poochhiye – dada‑dadi, nana‑nani, chacha, tau adi. - Purāne vahi / kul‑patrika / lagan ke kankotri / pooja‑pustak meṅ aksar Kuldevi ka nām likhā hotā hai. - Apne mūl gāṁv ke derāsar / mandir meṅ puchhiye – wahāṅ ke pujarī ya trust ke log aksar batā dete hain ki is kul / gotra ki paramparik Kuldevi kaun hai.

1. Digambar–Shwetambar antar

- Dono paramparāoṅ meṅ kuchh alag‑alag Shasan‑Devi prachlit ho sakti hain, lekin Kuldevi phir bhī family‑specific hī hotī hai, sampradāy‑wide fixed list nahin hotī.

Isliye keval “Joti surname” se aapki sahi Kuldevi batānā sambhav nahin hai. Sabse śuddh aur sahi tarīka hai – apne parivār ki purānī paramparā aur records dekhkar hi nirdhārit karna.
