Besides marriage (i.e. not marrying a person of the same gotra), how is gotra significant today? Does one need to perform a ritual related to gotra?

3Before every ritual we must perform Sankalpa and in it, besides other many things, the Gotra has to be mentioned/specified. – Rickross Feb 22 '21 at 06:41

Maybe scriptures can be referenced here for religious ceremonial matters. Other than that it has no significance and is more an archaic term. – Vivikta Feb 22 '21 at 06:44

1Ofcourse it is relevant. Just because few/many decide to downplay its importance does not render it as irrelevant. – Artist Formerly Known As CSD Feb 22 '21 at 07:46

@Carmensandiego again, to consider it relevant or not is a personal opinion. – Vivikta Feb 22 '21 at 10:42

@Vivikta - And that's why I've voted to close this question. Gotra is as significant or insignificant today as it was in past – Artist Formerly Known As CSD Feb 22 '21 at 12:07
