Bhansari (often written Bhansali) is a gotra within the Oswal/Jain community. In Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, Bhansali is one of the well-known gotras (ancestral lineages) among many 84 gotras used to identify lineages and guide exogamous marriage. It is commonly linked to the Oswal Jain lineage and is sometimes listed under the Bhansali gotra spelling. There are variations in how gotras are named and listed across different regional traditions, but Bhansali/Bhansari is recognized in the Oswal/Jain context. For Oswals, gotra identity helps maintain proper nuptial practices and lineage awareness. You can read more about the gotra context for Oswals here and see related notes here .
