I am a KDO from Saandhaan Kutch with our lineage of Dharamsi Shah, how do I know about our kul devi
Answer
I cannot identify your specific kul devi just from the lineage name, but in Jain tradition you can trace it through family memory, old records, and local Jain community sources.Explanation
To find your kul devi, follow these steps:- Ask the oldest members of your family about the traditional deity worshipped in your line.
- Check old family records, pedigree notes, wedding invitations, donation records, or temple documents.
- Speak with elders in your Jain sangh or community in Saandhaan and Kutch.
- Visit your family’s old derasar or place of worship and ask if any kul-devi name is preserved in oral tradition.
- Look for repeated names in the family, especially the deity invoked during weddings, vows, or ancestral rituals.
If different people give different names, do not guess. In Jain tradition, it is better to preserve only what is actually remembered and verified by your lineage.
