The basic social unit in a village is the family (paribar or gushti), generally consisting of a complete or incomplete patrilineally extended household (chula) and residing in a homestead (bari).

Above the bari level, patrilineal kin ties are linked into sequentially larger groups based on real, fictional, or assumed relationships
