Similarites & Differents between Kotharam/Gothara & Kula Deivam ?
In Hindu society, the term gotra means clan. It broadly refers to people
who are descendants in an unbroken male line from a common male
ancestor.
A Gotra / Kotharan must be distinguished from a kula deivam. A kula is a set of people
following similar cultural rituals, often worshiping the same divinity
(the Kula-Devata, god of the clan). Kula does not relate to lineage or
caste. In fact, it is possible to change one's kula, based on one's
faith or Iṣṭa-devatā.
