{{short description|None}}

A [[gotra]] is a lineage, akin to a family name, but the given name of a family is often different from its gotra, and may reflect the traditional occupation, place of residence or other important family characteristic rather than the lineage.

People belonging to a particular gotra may not be of the same caste(as there are many gotras which are part of different castes) in the [[Hindu]] social system. However, there is a notable exception among matrilineal [[Tulu language|Tulu]] speakers, for whom the lineages are the same across the castes.

People of the same gotra are generally not allowed to marry. At weddings, the gotras of the bride and the groom are read aloud to verify that they are not breaking this rule.
