A Nair marriage biodata is a one-page matrimonial profile that carries the fields this community matches on — Tharavad, Illam / Kiriyam, Nakshatram, Kuldevi / Kuldaivat — alongside the usual personal, education, family and contact details. It opens with a krishna, ayyappa or family-deity invocation and includes the horoscope block for kundli matching.

Nair descent runs through the mother, which is why a Nair biodata names the tharavad rather than a paternal gotra. It is the single field a North Indian template has no equivalent for.

Fields specific to a Nair biodata
- Tharavad — The ancestral joint-family house and lineage — traced through the mother's line.
- Illam / Kiriyam — The sub-lineage within the community.
- Nakshatram — Birth star in its Malayalam name, e.g. Thiruvathira, Pooram, Uthradam.
- Kuldevi / Kuldaivat — The family deity, named because it identifies the specific family line within a community.
- Native place — The ancestral town or village, distinct from the current city.

- Education & occupation
- Father, mother & siblings

What a Nair biodata must include
Generic templates are built around a North Indian Hindu default, which is why Nair families so often end up editing one in Word. The fields below are the ones that default leaves out.
- Tharavad — The ancestral joint-family house and lineage — traced through the mother's line.
- Illam / Kiriyam — The sub-lineage within the community.
- Nakshatram — Birth star in its Malayalam name, e.g. Thiruvathira, Pooram, Uthradam.
- Kuldevi / Kuldaivat — The family deity, named because it identifies the specific family line within a community.
- Native place — The ancestral town or village, distinct from the current city.
How Nair families match
Historically matrilineal, so the tharavad on the mother's side carries the weight that gotra does elsewhere. Star matching (nakshatra porutham) is standard.

Nair biodata format — page order
Keep it to one page in this order: personal details, the horoscope block including Tharavad and Illam / Kiriyam, then education and work, then family, then one contact number.
Fill every field you show. A visible but empty tharavad line reads as something withheld, which costs more than leaving the field out altogether.
