In Kannada, biodata is written ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ. For a marriage it is ಮದುವೆ ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ (maduve biodata) — and it is not the same thing as jataka.
In Kannada, "biodata" is ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ — a one-page profile of a person's personal, family and education details. For marriage it is called ಮದುವೆ ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ (maduve biodata). The older Kannada term is ಜಾತಕ (jataka), which literally means "horoscope, birth chart" and is not interchangeable with a biodata.

ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ is the Kannada spelling of the English word "biodata", and it means what the English word means: a short written account of who someone is. In ಕನ್ನಡ-speaking families it almost always refers to the one-page profile exchanged when a marriage is being arranged — ಮದುವೆ ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ.
The part that causes confusion is ಜಾತಕ (jataka), which literally means "horoscope, birth chart". People searching for this often find the two words used near each other and assume they are synonyms. They are not, and the difference matters when a family asks you for one of them.

ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ is a direct transliteration, so it carries no separate Kannada etymology — it is the English "biodata" written in ಕನ್ನಡ script. What it refers to is a single page listing a person's personal details, education, occupation, family and contact information.
Where the marriage sense needs to be explicit, Kannada speakers say ಮದುವೆ ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ (maduve biodata).
ಜಾತಕ is the birth chart and ಸಂಬಂಧ (sambandha) is the alliance being proposed; neither is the profile page. Kannada families commonly exchange the jataka for matching and the biodata for everything the chart does not carry — education, job, family and contact. Treating them as one document is the usual confusion behind this search.
| Kannada term | Romanised | What it refers to |
|---|---|---|
| ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ | biodata | The one-page profile of a person |
| ಮದುವೆ ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ | maduve biodata | That profile, in the marriage sense specifically |
| ಜಾತಕ | jataka | Literally "horoscope, birth chart" — see above |
For employment, Kannada speakers say resume. ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ in conversation refers to the marriage profile.
The two documents overlap only in the name. A marriage biodata leads with family, community and often horoscope details and gives work a line or two. A job CV inverts that entirely and carries no family section at all — putting your father's occupation on a job application reads as odd, and leaving your family off a marriage biodata reads as evasive.
The practical problem with typing a biodata in Kannada is not the words, it is the export. A Word file typed in ಕನ್ನಡ renders correctly on your machine and can fall apart on someone else's if the script's font is missing — which is exactly the moment it matters, since the person opening it is the family deciding on the match.

“My aunt kept asking for the parichay patra and I thought she meant something different from a biodata. Turned out to be the same page.”
“The family asked for the jathagam, not the biodata. Knowing the difference saved a very awkward second phone call.”
