Nahar family lineage golapurav digamber sect of jainism?
Answer
Based on the records I found, I cannot confirm that the Nahar family line is specifically “Golapurva Digambar.” A Jain historical source describes the Nahar family as part of the Oswal sect, while Golapurva is listed separately as a Jain community name from Bundelkhand. So the safest reading is that these are different lineage/community labels, not one fixed identity. (

Explanation
In Jain tradition, surnames and gotra-like labels are usually social or family identifiers, not a universal doctrinal system. For Digambar families especially, lineage is often confirmed through family records, temple/community customs, or elders rather than from one standard scriptural list. (

Spiritual Understanding
In Jain Dharma, a family name does not define spiritual worth. Identity in Jain life is centered more on right faith and right conduct than on a surname alone. (

Takeaway
So, please do not assume “Nahar = Golapurva Digambar” by default. If lineage matters for family tradition, it should be checked from old family records or community history. (
