“Jaiswal” is mainly a surname / community name, not a religious gotra in the strict Jain sense.

Key points in simple words:

• In Jain dharm, gotra (like in Hindu Brahmin tradition) is not a main religious system.
• Many Jains use surnames such as Jaiswal, Oswal, Porwal, Khandelwal, etc. These are samaj / community / business names, not scripturally fixed Jain gotras.
• So “Jaiswal Jain” means: a Jain belonging to the Jaiswal community, not a special Jain gotra defined in Agams or canonical texts.
• Both Digambar and Shwetambar Jains do not have any separate, fixed “Jaiswal gotra” rule in scripture.

Socially, some local sanghs may keep lists of gotra or kul, but these are community customs, not universal Jain rules.

If you want to know your exact family gotra or kul, the correct way in Jain tradition is:

1. Ask your dada-dadi / nana-nani / parents – they often know the family’s traditional gotra or kuldev/kuldevi.
2. Look at old lagna-patrika (marriage card) or family records – sometimes gotra or kul is written there.
3. Ask your local Jain sangh / temple – some communities keep genealogy registers.
