origion of gangerawal jain gotras were from which kingdom
In Jainism, “Gangerwal / Gangerawal” is a community-family gotra name, not something defined in Jain scriptures, so its exact “kingdom of origin” is not clearly fixed or agreed upon.
A few key points:
- Jain āgamas and main śāstras do not list such gotras.
- Gotra names like Gangerwal belong to specific Jain Vaishya communities (often from Rajasthan and nearby regions). - They are social / genealogical labels, not religious categories set by Bhagwan or by Jain scriptures.
- For Gangerwal in particular, historical records only show it as a gotra/lineage name, usually among merchant Jain communities that spread in parts of Rajasthan etc.
- Some older community directories show “Gangerwal” within certain Jain groups, but they do not clearly connect it to one definite ancient “kingdom” (like “it came from XYZ Rajya”).
- Because of this, any very specific kingdom-claim (for example, “Gangerwal came from such‑and‑such king’s rajya”) is based on local oral tradition, not on universally accepted Jain historical sources.
So, from a Jain-dharma point of view, we can only say:
- Gangerwal is a Jain community lineage name (gotra) arising from certain merchant Jains, most likely in/around Rajasthan‑region society,
- but no authentic, commonly accepted Jain textual source clearly ties it to one particular kingdom by name.
For an exact family answer, you would need to check:
- old lagna‑patrikā / family records,
- your samaj’s history book or community register,
- or elders in your own Gangerwal Jain community, who may preserve a specific oral story of origin.
