What is shajra and how to read it?

Shajra means family tree and its easy to read it. In land laws shajra is maintained for every person in the records of revenue of a particular village. That shajra document is slightly harder to read. However if you know basic principles of inheritance things are not that hard to manage.

There are few shapes commonly used in Shajra available in the revenue records.

- Rectangle shows that the person is a male. If the rectangle has lines at its corners than that means the male is childless.
- The triangle is used for female.
- The flower is used for widow.

It flows from top to bottom. The ascendants are at the top while the dessendents are at the bottom. For more do consult thepleaders@gmail.com
