A kuladevata (Template:Langx),[1] also known as a kuladaivaṃ (Template:Langx),[2] is an ancestral tutelary deity in Hinduism and Jainism.[3]

Such a deity is often the object of one's devotion (bhakti), and is coaxed to watch over one's clan (kula), gotra, family, and children from misfortune. This is distinct from an ishta-devata (personal tutelar) and a grāmadevatā (village deities).[4]

A male deity is called a kuladeva and female deity kuladevi (sometimes spelled kuldev and kuldevi respectively).[5]

Etymology

The word kuladevata is derived from two words: kula, meaning clan, and devata, meaning deity, referring to the ancestral deities that are worshipped by particular clans.[6]

Veneration

Kuladaivams of the Shaiva tradition are often considered to be forms of Shiva and Parvati, while those of the Vaishnava tradition are often regarded to be forms of Vishnu and Lakshmi.[7]

Due to the veneration of holy men (babas) in several regions of the subcontinent, several communities consider such men to be their kuladevatas in the place of a deity.[8]

In western India, some communities regard local monarchs who belonged to their clan to be their kuladevata.[9]
