हिन्दू ब्राह्मण शांडिल्य गोत्र
Gotra is the Sanskrit term for a much older system of tribal clans. The Sanskrit term "Gotra" was initially used by the Vedic people for the identification of the lineages. Generally, these lineages mean patrilineal descent from the sages or rishis in Brahmins, warriors and administrators in Kshatriyas and ancestral trademen in Vaisyas.
Shandilya is a special gotra system started in Bengal, whose later clan are identified as Pascyatta Vaidik Brahmin.
The particular gotra had been migrated from swarasat land near Kanouj.
The History as written by contemporary writer "Kallahan" has indicated that there was a clan with a gotra called "Shandilya" migrated from upperdelta os river swaraswati, to Janapada of Aryasthan.
The later history of Saka 1001 has identified that Syamal varama had invited five Brahmin to perform special ritual for worshiping varun to mitigate famine in his kingdom.
These pancha gotra Brahmin settled in different part of Bengal.
The Brahmin of Shandilya gotra settled in Kotalpara.
He is one of the prominent Kulin Brahmin of special clan called "Pachiyatta Vaidik Brahmin".
The present clan of Pachyatta Vaidik Brahmin is widely spread in East Bengal and even more so in West Bengal.
Some of them have even recently migrated to Mumbai.
