Same duggar parivar means same gotra?
2
Answer
Not necessarily.
In Jain community usage, same “Duggar/Dugar parivar” does not automatically mean same gotra.
Explanation
Usually:
- Parivar means family/extended family line, often based on surname, ancestry, or social grouping.
- Gotra refers to a traditional lineage identity used especially in marriage discussions.
So two people may both belong to the Duggar/Dugar parivar or have the same surname, but their gotra may be different depending on their ancestral lineage and community records.
In Jain marriage customs, families usually confirm:
- Gotra
- kul/lineage
- family ancestry
- known blood relation
- community tradition
Takeaway
Same Duggar/Dugar parivar does not always mean same gotra. For marriage or religious-family customs, it is best to confirm with elders, family genealogy, or your community’s traditional records.
