This aspect of ancestral worship is very predominant in Goa and is still practiced today.{{fact|date=March 2019}} According to Goan Folklore researcher Mr. Vinayak Vishnu Khedekar, the word Purus or Puris originated from the Sanskrit word Puris. All the communities and castes including Brahmins have custom of and tradition of Kulapurusha in their clan.
