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 in the Hindu social system. However, there is a notable exception among matrilineal Tulu speakers, for whom the lineages are the same across the castes.
People of the same gotra are generally not allowed to marry.[1] At weddings, the gotras of the bride and the groom are read aloud to verify that they are not breaking this rule.
