Hindu Marriage Biodata Format: Complete Guide + Sample

A well-made Hindu marriage biodata format does more than list facts about a girl or boy. It presents the person and the family respectfully, includes the horoscope details that elders care about, and gives the other family an easy way to say yes. This guide walks through every section so your shaadi biodata looks complete and culturally correct.

Start with the right invocation

Almost every Hindu biodata opens with a short auspicious line at the top. The most common is Shri Ganeshaya Namah (श्री गणेशाय नमः) or simply Om (ॐ), often paired with a small deity icon such as Ganesha or the family kuldevta. This sets a respectful, traditional tone before any personal detail appears.

Personal details section

The first block introduces the candidate. Keep it factual and easy to scan.

• Full name and date, time and place of birth
• Height, complexion and blood group
• Rashi (moon sign) and nakshatra (birth star)
• Gotra and, where relevant, gan and nadi
• Manglik status (Manglik or Non-Manglik)
• Diet and lifestyle, if the family wishes to mention it

Horoscope and astrology fields

For many Hindu families the kundli matching is decisive, so the horoscope block deserves care. Mention the rashi, nakshatra, gan, nadi and Manglik dosha clearly. Some families also add the charan or pada and the time of birth so a pandit can verify the match quickly. If your community does not rely on astrology, Marriage Profile Builder lets you switch these fields off so the layout stays clean.

Family details

Hindu marriages are seen as a union of two families, so this section matters as much as the personal one.

• Father's name and occupation
• Mother's name and occupation
• Siblings, with marital status
• Native place, kuldevta and family background
• Caste, sub-caste and gotra where customary

Education, profession and contact

Round off the biodata with the candidate's qualifications, current job and annual income if the family is comfortable sharing it. End with a contact section listing a phone number and city. Keep the contact details to a parent or guardian if the profile is being shared widely.
