Panjikars record each family's founding ancestor, mool (ancestral village) and gotra, and check seven paternal and six maternal generations before a marriage. Digitisation began in 2017 and families resisted it. One panjikar's records are on FamilySearch.

How a family belongs

A family knows its mool and its panjikar.

Note

  • Its records are a priest family's private property.
