The head of the family whose KulaDevatha is to be defined through Niroopam should go along with family members to IshTa Devatha temple and convey to Bhatmam the intention.
As per the clue provided in the above table, depending upon the 'Gothram' and 'Paik'(Shenoy,Kamath,Pai,etc.,)the names of the probable Kula Devathas should be written in separate slips of paper and deposited in a vessel.
Then pray to IshTa Devatha with full devotion and faith to get Kula Devatha defined for the family and have draw taken.
Kula Devatha mentioned therein will be the Kula Devatha for the family as ordained by God and shall be accepted as such with full reverence and devotion for daily worship. Those who belong to Gothram and 'Paik" not mentioned in the above list ,are advised to have 'darshan' of Dharma PeeTha and have their Kula Devatha defined for them.
