What a Chettiar biodata must include
Generic templates are built around a North Indian Hindu default, which is why Chettiar families so often end up editing one in Word. The fields below are the ones that default leaves out.
- Kovil (temple) — The clan temple a family belongs to — among Nagarathar Chettiars this is the principal matching field.
- Pirivu — The sub-division within the community.
- Thirunakshatram — Birth star in Tamil.
- Native place — The ancestral town or village, distinct from the current city.
How Chettiar families match
Among Nagarathars, the nine clan temples define exogamy — families of the same kovil do not intermarry.
The kovil is the field that distinguishes a Chettiar biodata. Clan membership is defined by temple rather than by gotra, and the nine temples govern who may marry whom.
Chettiar biodata format — page order
Keep it to one page in this order: personal details, the horoscope block including Kovil (temple) and Pirivu, then education and work, then family, then one contact number.
Fill every field you show. A visible but empty kovil (temple) line reads as something withheld, which costs more than leaving the field out altogether.
