Re: Sarai No More

Re: Sarai No More

Actually the most important part of their life is gotra, it determines the linage, hers is Kashyap, and two people of same gotra cannot marry as they turn out to be brother and sister.

It mentions 92 names, and also nearly 250 years ago, her ancestors took this surname :)

Re: Sarai No More
