Prayagwal pandas

प्रयागवाल पंडा

Tirtha purohit seat, Tirtha purohits

Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh

Pandas at the Sangam. Each panda lineage flies its own hereditary flag (nishan), and families find their panda by the flag.

How a family belongs

Each panda lineage holds hereditary rights over families from particular areas. A family's panda is found by its ancestral village, district and caste, not by gotra or surname. Note your panda's flag.

What it records

One Kaushambi register is on FamilySearch. Priests here have joined the National Archives pothi project.

Note

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