In Kerala, the thread wearing Ambalavasis such as Nambisans have vishwamitra as their gotra, I dont know if they have the concept of a pravara such as Vaiswamitra, Daivarata, Owdala or Vaishwamitra, Madhuchandasa, Dhananjaya. The Varmas (Kshatriyas) also mostly have vishwamitra as their gotra. Was this simply because Vishwamitra is the seer of the Gayatri and these communities didn't study the veda beyond Gayatri mantra ?
