This is our gotram. I am surprised that it is a very rare gotram that even priests cannot pronounce it properly. They usually pronounce it as Bada narayana. Even in temples gotram lists it is not found. Can someone please throw some light about this gotram and also Kuladeivam of the people belonging to this gotram.

நாங்களும் பாதராயன கோத்திரம். எங்களின் முன்னோர் திருவையாறு சிவன் கோவிலில் உள்ள தண்டாயுதபாணி கோயில் இருந்து இலங்கைக்கு வந்ததாக அறிக முடிகிறது. இலங்கையிலும் எங்களின் கோத்திரம் மிக குறைவு.

Gotras and kula deivams have no connection. One's gotra denotes their genealogy (for all Brahmins and Vadakalai SVs (wrt non-brahmins and thenkalai SVs, the gotra varies case by case)). To find out a possible kula deivam find out about your hometown then we can narrow it down depending on other factors. Also if your family has been praying to a particular temple for 5 or more generations that is your kula deivam or at least one of your kula deivams and you will have to go there to pray as often as you can.
