In Jain Dharma, there are no fixed “gotrej” (gotra-based) rituals for kuldevi given in Agams or main Jain scriptures. Kuldevi worship is mostly a local / family tradition, not a core Jain religious requirement.

From a pure Jain point of view, keep these points in mind:

1. Main focus should be Tirthankars

- First priority: Navkar Mantra, Das-Lakshan, Pratikraman, Samayik, Pooja of Tirthankars. - Kuldevi is seen (where accepted) as a protective shasan devi / family guardian, not as the giver of moksha.

1. What is allowed if your family follows kuldevi?

You may, out of family respect, do simple, ahimsa-based things like: - Go to derasar first, then kuldevi place. - Do Navkar Mantra, stavans, shanti path there. - Offer only: - Flowers (without plucking at night or in violent ways) - Fruits, dry fruits, sweets prepared with full purity (no egg, no onion/garlic if your family follows that rule) - Deepak, dhoop, aarti (without any violence involved)

1. What must be strictly avoided (even if some relatives do it):

All these are against Jain dharma: - Animal sacrifice, bali, blood offerings - Liquor, meat, fish, eggs in any “bhog” - Harming any living being as “dakhina” or “mannat” - Black-magic type rituals, tantrik type pooja

1. If your elders insist on “gotrej” type customs

You can gently keep a Jain version: - Start the day with Navkar Mantra, pratikraman, daan. - At kuldevi place, do only: - Navkar - Recitation of a Jain stotra (Bhaktamar, Uvasaggaharam, Padmavati stavan if your tradition follows it, etc.) - Politely skip anything that breaks ahimsa, satya, or brahmacharya.

1. Differences in Digambar / Shwetambar practice (general)

- Both accept that only Tirthankars / Siddhas are moksha-marg. - Some Shwetambar and some Digambar communities have strong kuldevi customs, but these are community traditions, not scriptural commands. - Wherever there is a clash, Jain vows and teachings are higher than kuldevi customs.

If you tell your sampraday (Digambar/Shwetambar) and what exactly you mean by “gotrej” (e.g., some specific family ceremony), I can help you convert it into a fully ahimsak, Jain-aligned way.
