Shandilya gotra in Maithil marriage
In Maithil practice, gotra is checked early to avoid prohibited matches. Shandilya families traditionally verify against the other side’s gotra before serious talks.
Mool (lineage place) is discussed alongside gotra. Related mools associated with Shandilya lines are referenced in Panji conversations — always confirm with your family panjikar for a live decision.
Biodata practice
On biodata, write gotra explicitly. ‘Brahmin’ alone is not enough for Mithila elders.
Pravara & adhikar
Pravara and detailed adhikar rules should be confirmed with a qualified panjikar or family pandit. Ghatkaiti helps you capture gotra/mool cleanly so that conversation can happen early.
