Gotra refers to a lineage or clan system among Brahmins and other Hindu communities, indicating a common ancestor. Each Brahmin belongs to a specific gotra, which is usually traced back to one of the ancient sages or rishis. Common Brahmin gotras include Bharadwaj, Kashyap, Vashistha, and Atri, among others. The gotra system plays an important role in marriage alliances and social interactions within the community.
