These are beautiful in handwritten registers passed down to the pandits over generations by their Pandit ancestors.\u00a0 They are classified according to the original districts and villages of one&#8217;s ancestors. When Hindus make a pilgrimage to a holy place, they also reconnect with their personal family priest, and record births, marriages, and deaths on long paper scrolls. The earliest records were written on palm leaves and have been since lost to the elements, but there are sites across India where such records can still be found. The scrolls are kept by family priests and handed over to the next generations.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1977, Hindu genealogy records were microfilmed and later housed at the Genealogical Society of Utah.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7131,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"blogwithouttab.php","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[158],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>VANSHAVALI VAHI\/ BAHI\/ GENEALOGICAL REGISTERS - Jana Indica<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jana Indica- An Indian Heritage City Platform.
