The Chenchus are a broad exogamous group that is sub-divided into various clans. <b>They follow the ancient system in Hindu tradition of gotras,</b> which represents the lineage and descent of clan members. <b>There are 26 gotras found among the Chenchus and the various clans are identified by their gotra name.</b> They never marry within the gotra or clan and intermarry other clan members. The wife bears the husbandâs gotra after marriage.
I never would have imagined that there is Gotra pravara amongst the tribal population of one of the most ancient tribes of India.
