Hindu Marriage Biodata Format: Deities, Horoscope Fields & Free Templates
7 July 2026 · 7 min read
A Hindu marriage biodata follows a familiar structure that families recognise instantly: a deity invocation at the top, personal and horoscope details, then family and contact. Getting this format right signals care and makes your profile easy to evaluate.
This guide covers exactly what belongs in a Hindu biodata — including the astrology fields many families look for first — and how to produce one that looks traditional yet clean.

Open with a deity invocation
Most Hindu biodatas begin with an auspicious symbol or invocation — commonly Ganesha (for a good beginning), Om, a Kalash, or a simple 'Shubh Vivah' header. This sets a respectful, traditional tone before any details.
- Ganesha — the most popular opening
- Om or Swastika for a minimal look
- Kalash / mandala motifs for a temple style
Personal details block
The personal section is the core. Keep each item on its own labelled row so it scans quickly.
- Full name and date, time and place of birth
- Height, complexion, blood group
- Education and occupation
- Annual income (optional but often expected)
The horoscope fields families look for
This is what distinguishes a Hindu biodata from a generic one. Many families check horoscope compatibility, so include these clearly. If any don't apply to your community, it's fine to leave them out.
- Rashi (moon sign) and Nakshatra (birth star)
- Gotra and Gan
- Manglik status (yes / no / partial)
- Nadi and charan, if your family provides them
Family details
Families read this section to understand your background. Keep it warm but concise — parents' names and occupations, siblings, and your native place.
- Father's name and occupation
- Mother's name and occupation
- Siblings (with marital status)
- Native place / kuldevi or kuldevata (optional)
Choosing a template and language
A Hindu biodata should feel traditional without looking cluttered. Pick a Ganesha, mandala, temple or royal design and match it to your family's taste. A good maker also lets you switch the entire biodata between English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada — every label changes script automatically.
Add a photo and download
Add a recent, well-lit photo (the 4:5 top-right position is what families expect), preview the whole thing live, and download a print-ready PDF, an editable Word file, or a high-resolution image for WhatsApp.

Which deity should open a Hindu biodata?
Ganesha is the most common because it symbolises an auspicious beginning, but Om, a Kalash or a simple mandala header work well too. Choose what suits your family.
Do I have to include manglik and gotra?
They're expected in many Hindu communities because families check horoscope compatibility, but include only the fields that apply to you. You can hide any field you'd rather not share.
Can I make a Hindu biodata in Hindi or a regional language?
Yes. A good maker offers English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada, and switches every label to that script instantly.
