In short
A Maratha marriage biodata is a one-page matrimonial profile that carries the fields this community matches on — Kul, Devak, Kuldevi / Kuldaivat, Gotra — alongside the usual personal, education, family and contact details. It opens with '॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥' or a Kuldaivat invocation and includes the horoscope block for kundli matching.

The devak field is what distinguishes a Maratha biodata from any other. It is a clan totem invoked during the wedding ceremony, and two families sharing one are generally considered too closely related to marry.

What to include in your biodata
Fields specific to a Maratha biodata
- Kul — The clan name — the primary identifier in a Maratha match.
- Devak — The clan totem, usually a plant or object, invoked at the wedding. Same-devak matches are traditionally avoided.
- Kuldevi / Kuldaivat — The family deity, named because it identifies the specific family line within a community.
- Gotra — The paternal lineage. Matches within the same gotra are traditionally avoided.
- Rashi & nakshatra — Moon sign and birth star, for kundli matching before the families meet.
- Native place — The ancestral town or village, distinct from the current city.
Standard fields on every biodata
- Full name, date of birth & age
- Height, complexion & blood group
- Education & occupation
- Father, mother & siblings
- Native place & current city
- One contact number, with the relationship stated
What a Maratha biodata must include
Generic templates are built around a North Indian Hindu default, which is why Maratha families so often end up editing one in Word. The fields below are the ones that default leaves out.
- Kul — The clan name — the primary identifier in a Maratha match.
- Devak — The clan totem, usually a plant or object, invoked at the wedding. Same-devak matches are traditionally avoided.
- Kuldevi / Kuldaivat — The family deity, named because it identifies the specific family line within a community.
- Gotra — The paternal lineage. Matches within the same gotra are traditionally avoided.
- Rashi & nakshatra — Moon sign and birth star, for kundli matching before the families meet.
- Native place — The ancestral town or village, distinct from the current city.
How Maratha families match
Same kul and same devak are both avoided. Devak in particular is a check families make that generic templates leave no room for.
The devak field is what distinguishes a Maratha biodata from any other. It is a clan totem invoked during the wedding ceremony, and two families sharing one are generally considered too closely related to marry.
Maratha biodata format — page order
Keep it to one page in this order: personal details, the horoscope block including Kul and Devak, then education and work, then family, then one contact number.
Fill every field you show. A visible but empty kul line reads as something withheld, which costs more than leaving the field out altogether.
