Marathi Biodata Format for Marriage (मराठी बायोडाटा)
A free Marathi marriage biodata maker with correct labels like जन्म तारीख, रास and कौटुंबिक माहिती. Marathi biodata templates with PDF and image download.
A biodata in Marathi (मराठी बायोडाटा or लग्नासाठी परिचय पत्र) feels natural for Maharashtrian families, especially when it will be shared with elders or passed through a वधू-वर सूचक मंडळ. A Marathi biodata also has a few fields that other formats don’t, such as देवक, कुलदैवत and मामाचे नाव, and families notice when they are missing.
Switch the whole biodata to Marathi
In our builder, choose मराठी as the biodata language. Every built-in label changes automatically:
| English | मराठी |
|---|---|
| Personal Details | वैयक्तिक माहिती |
| Date of Birth | जन्म तारीख |
| Time of Birth | जन्म वेळ |
| Place of Birth | जन्म ठिकाण |
| Height | उंची |
| Complexion | वर्ण |
| Caste | जात |
| Education | शिक्षण |
| Occupation | नोकरी / व्यवसाय |
| Horoscope Details | पत्रिका माहिती |
| Rashi | रास |
| Manglik | मंगळ |
| Family Details | कौटुंबिक माहिती |
| Father’s Name | वडिलांचे नाव |
| Native Place | मूळ गाव |
You can type values in Marathi or English. Mixing both is fine, e.g. बी.ई. (कॉम्प्युटर), COEP पुणे.

Field-by-field guide
नाव. Write the full name with the surname. The traditional prefixes are कु. for an unmarried girl and चि. for an unmarried boy. They are optional; use them if your family’s older biodatas did.
जन्म तारीख आणि वेळ. Use Marathi month names and add सकाळी, दुपारी, संध्याकाळी or रात्री: 5 सप्टेंबर 1997, सकाळी 07:30. Avoid writing the time only in 24-hour format.
उंची, वर्ण, रक्तगट. Height in feet and inches is standard. वर्ण is optional; if you keep it, use the usual words गोरा, निमगोरा or सावळा and keep it honest. रक्तगट (blood group) appears in many Marathi biodatas; add it with Add field if your family expects it.
जात आणि पोटजात. Write the community as it is commonly known, such as देशस्थ ब्राह्मण, चांद्रसेनीय कायस्थ प्रभू (CKP) or ९६ कुळी मराठा. If caste does not matter to you, write जात-पात बंधन नाही or remove the field.
शिक्षण आणि नोकरी. Name the degree and the college, then the role and employer: सॉफ्टवेअर इंजिनिअर, TCS. If you work in another city, add it, because location is one of the first things families check.
पत्रिका माहिती. Families who match गुण need रास, नक्षत्र, चरण, नाड and गण. Copy them from the जन्मपत्रिका rather than estimating. For मंगळ, write आहे, नाही or सौम्य.
देवक आणि कुलदैवत. देवक is the family’s sacred emblem (for example पंचपल्लव, कळंब or सूर्यफूल). Many families avoid matches with the same देवक, so it belongs on the biodata. कुलदैवत and कुलस्वामिनी (such as खंडोबा, तुळजाभवानी or महालक्ष्मी) show where the family’s roots are.
वडील आणि आई. Use श्री. for the father and सौ. for the mother, with a short occupation in brackets. For a late parent, write कै. श्री. ….
मामाचे नाव. Give the maternal uncle’s name and town. It is often how two families discover they already know each other.
अपेक्षा. One line is enough. Describe the kind of person and family you hope for, not a checklist of demands.
Typing in Marathi
On Android and iPhone, add the Marathi keyboard (Settings → Keyboard → Add language), or use Gboard’s voice typing in Marathi. On a laptop, Google Input Tools works well. A transliteration keyboard is the fastest option for most people: type deshpande and pick देशपांडे from the suggestions.
Watch for two Marathi-specific letters: ळ (as in मंगळ, कळंब) and the ऱ् half-letter (as in कऱ्हाड). Hindi keyboards sometimes substitute ल or र, which elders will notice.
Marathi conventions that differ from Hindi
Although both use Devanagari, the vocabulary differs. Marathi biodatas say जन्म तारीख not जन्म तिथि, उंची not ऊँचाई, मूळ गाव not मूल निवास and पत्ता not पता. The honorific for a married woman is सौ., not श्रीमती. Switching the builder to मराठी takes care of the labels, but check that your values follow the same conventions.
Sending your biodata through a वधू-वर सूचक मंडळ
Many Maharashtrian families still register with a community वधू-वर सूचक मंडळ or a samaj matrimonial meet (वधू-वर मेळावा), alongside WhatsApp and matrimony apps. These usually ask for a printed copy and a soft copy, so keep both ready:
- Printed copy: download the A4 PDF and print it on good paper. Most mandals keep biodatas in files that families browse by hand, so a clean, single page stands out.
- Soft copy: the PNG image is easiest to forward on WhatsApp, and it opens instantly on any phone without a PDF viewer.
- Photo: some mandals ask for a separate passport-size photo. Use the same photo as on the biodata so families recognise you.
- Updates: if your job, city or contact number changes, edit the draft in our builder and send the mandal a fresh copy. An outdated biodata in circulation causes confusion.
When a family contacts you through a mandal, they often already have your पत्रिका details from the biodata, so be ready to share the full जन्मपत्रिका quickly.
Also available in Hindi and Gujarati
The same switch works for हिन्दी and ગુજરાતી, so a family with relatives in different states can download two versions from one set of details.

Frequently asked questions
What is a लग्नासाठी परिचय पत्र?
It is the Marathi name for a marriage biodata: a one-page introduction shared between families, through relatives, a vadhu-var suchak mandal or WhatsApp. It usually covers personal details, पत्रिका (horoscope) details, family details and contact information, with a photo.
Should I include देवक and कुलदैवत in a Marathi biodata?
In most Maharashtrian communities, yes. Many families avoid alliances where both sides share the same देवक, so it is checked early. कुलदैवत and कुलस्वामिनी help the other family place your roots. Add them with Add field; they are not built-in fields.
How do I write नाड, गण and चरण?
Copy them from your जन्मपत्रिका. नाड is आद्य, मध्य or अंत्य; गण is देव, मनुष्य or राक्षस; चरण is a number from 1 to 4. Families who match गुण use these values directly, so they must be exact.
Is it necessary to mention मामाचे नाव?
It is not required, but it is very common in Marathi biodatas. Mentioning the maternal uncle's name and town helps families find common relatives and makes the introduction feel more trustworthy.
Should I use कु. before a girl's name?
Traditionally an unmarried girl's name is written with कु. (कुमारी) and a boy's with चि. (चिरंजीव), for example कु. सायली देशपांडे. It is a matter of family preference; modern biodatas often leave it out and simply write the full name.
Can I write some values in English?
Yes. Degrees, college names, company names and email addresses are often clearer in English, for example बी.ई. (कॉम्प्युटर), COEP पुणे. Keep dates and relationships in Marathi so the biodata still reads naturally.
Do the Marathi labels print correctly?
Yes. Labels and values render in Noto Sans Devanagari, including Marathi-specific letters such as ळ, and the PDF embeds the font so it looks the same on every device and when printed.
