In the holy city of Haridwar, India, a lesser-known ancient tradition persists among the Pandas. They meticulously maintain handwritten registers containing detailed genealogies of Hindu families spanning multiple generations. These registers, inherited from their ancestors, are classified based on the original districts and ancestral villages of families, irrespective of current religious affiliations. Despite these changes, dedicated Pandit families continue to preserve these records, often holding information about seven or more past generations. This incredible custom reveals an intricate tapestry of familial histories and transformations, largely unknown to many Indians and those residing abroad. #India #haridwar #ancestors #ancient #family #books #record
