Lingayat practice de-emphasises horoscope matching relative to other Hindu communities, so the biodata gives more space to the sub-sect and the matha than to rashi and nakshatra.

What a Lingayat biodata must include
Generic templates are built around a North Indian Hindu default, which is why Lingayat families so often end up editing one in Word. The fields below are the ones that default leaves out.
- Sub-sect — The Veerashaiva or Lingayat sub-division the family belongs to.
- Guru / matha — The monastery or spiritual lineage the family follows.
- Ishtalinga — Worn from initiation; its mention signals observance.
- Native place — The ancestral town or village, distinct from the current city.
How Lingayat families match
Matching happens largely within sub-sect, and the matha a family follows is often named. Horoscope matching is less universal here than in neighbouring communities.
Lingayat practice de-emphasises horoscope matching relative to other Hindu communities, so the biodata gives more space to the sub-sect and the matha than to rashi and nakshatra.
Lingayat biodata format — page order
Keep it to one page in this order: personal details, the horoscope block including Sub-sect and Guru / matha, then education and work, then family, then one contact number.
Fill every field you show. A visible but empty sub-sect line reads as something withheld, which costs more than leaving the field out altogether.
