Aapka apna gotra main ya koi bhi online system directly nahi bata sakta. Gotra hamesha parivaar ki parampara se pata chalta hai, na ki naam ya kundali se.

Jain dharm mein aam taur par do tarah se pehchaan hoti hai:

1. Gacch / Sangh / Panth – jaise:

- Shwetambar: Tapāgacch, Khartargacch, Pārshvacandragacch, Adinath Gacch, etc. - Digambar: Tera Panth, Bispanthi, Samaiya, etc.

1. Kul / Gotra / Vansh – jo aksar:

- Parivaar ke bude logon ko pata hota hai - Vivaah ke samay pandit / upadhyay ji padhte hain - Khandaan ki purani pothi / vanshawali mein likha hota hai

Aapko apna gotra jaanna hai to yeh kaam aapko in se puchhkar karna hoga:

1. Ghar ke sabse bude vyakti – dada‑dadi, nana‑nani, tau ji, kaka ji
2. Jo pandit / upadhyay ji aapke ghar ke vivaah, pooja, pachkhaan, lagan patrikā, ityādi dekhte hain
3. Agar aapke parivaar ke paas vanshavali / gotrapatrak / kul‑pothi ho, to usme likha hota hai.

Main aapko guide kar sakta hoon kya puchhna hai:

• “Hamare parivaar ka kul ya gotra kya hai?”
• “Ham log kaunse gacch / sangh ke hain?”
• “Hamare khandaan ki purani pothi ya vanshavali kahan rakhi hai?”

Jab tak parivaar se ya pramanit granth se jaankaari na mile, tab tak apne aap gotra manana ya guess karna theek nahi hai. Isliye sabse sahi tareeka hai – parivaar + pandit ji + vanshavali se confirm karna.
