Moolgram (Maithili: मूलग्राम) (also written as Mulgram[1]) is a branch or sub-division of a Mool among Maithil Brahmins in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. It represents a more recent ancestral abode, indicating where a specific branch of the original Mool settled.[2] The concept of "Moolgram" within the intricate social fabric of the Maithil Brahmin community is a testament to the enduring significance of lineage and ancestral settlement. It represents far more than a mere geographical marker; it embodies a living connection to the past, a thread that weaves together generations and shapes the present. It is one of the fundamental genealogical identity recorded in the Panji system of Mithila.[3][4][5][6]
