Key Principles of the Panji System

1

Non-Consanguinity (Asapinda Rule)

Marriage is strictly avoided within 7 generations on the paternal side and 5 generations on the maternal side to preserve genetic health.

2

Siddhanta & Asadharmatva Verification

Before marriage, certified Panjikars (genealogists) cross-examine palm-leaf records (Panji pothis) to grant the official marriage clearance (Siddhanta-patra).

3

Saurath Sabha Gachhi Gathering

The historical annual congregation in Saurath (Madhubani) where families and Panjikars meet for matrimonial alliances under the sacred shade of mango orchards.
