Hi,
Am Sathish.New to this pot. My sharman is Rangaswami and gotram Kaushika. We are North Arcot Vadama. First of all great job with the research. Iam really amazed by it. Now to my queries.Firstly, how do I find out what subsect of Vadama do I belong to. Secondly, if Intermarriage within Gotras is prohibited, does that apply to different Pravaras arising out of the same Rishi?Thirdly, whats the significant difference in usage and practice of semi secular rituals in weddings and other social occassions between different subsects belonging to the same area.
Thanks
