वंश
vaṃśa · unbroken lineage
Memory between generations.
A gotra is not just a surname prefix. It is a Vedic lineage identifier tracing every family back to a rishi. A kuladevataa is not just a temple visit. It is the deity that has protected your bloodline for centuries. When this knowledge is lost between generations, civilization loses an irreplaceable thread. Vamsha exists to preserve it: privately, permanently, and with your family's full consent.
Four pillars
What Vamsha preserves.
Pillar II
Gotra and pravar chain
Record your Vedic gotra and pravar rishis: the unbroken lineage that identifies your family's sage-ancestor and ritual identity.
Pillar III
Kuladevataa and temple link
Connect your family to its presiding deity and ancestral temple. Contributes to the living map of Hindu temples worshipped across generations.
Pillar IV
Ancestor merge suggestions
When two trees share the same gotra, village, and generational window, Vamshanidhi surfaces potential shared ancestors for you to confirm.
Four steps
How it works.
- Step 01
Add family members
Start with yourself. Add parents, grandparents, siblings, with gotra, birth year, and kuladevataa for each person you know.
- Step 02
Invite members for consent
Send an invite link to living relatives. They review and consent to their own data being stored. DPDPA-compliant from day one.
- Step 03
Link to temples and villages
Connect your ancestral temple and village from Vamshanidhi's indexed records. Your family tree becomes part of civilization memory.
- Step 04
Discover shared gotras
See which Vamshanidhi families share your gotra across India. Explore if distant branches share an ancestor from the same village line.
