About this format

A Hindu marriage biodata puts birth and horoscope details near the top, because many families check kundli compatibility before anything else. Every horoscope field below is optional; include what your family follows.

Horoscope details, field by field

FieldWhat to writeExample
Time of birthExact time, AM or PM, from the birth record6:20 AM
Place of birthCity or town and stateRanchi, Jharkhand
RashiMoon sign, in Hindi or English or bothSimha (Leo)
NakshatraBirth star, with charan if knownMagha, charan 2
GotraFamily lineage on the father’s sideKashyap
ManglikYes, No or Anshik (partial), as your pandit advisesNo

Time and place of birth matter most: the pandit uses them to make the kundli. Even an hour’s error changes it, so copy the time from the birth certificate or family record.

Regional fields worth adding

  • Maharashtra: kul, kuldaivat and devak. See the Marathi biodata.
  • South India: gothram, star (nakshatra) and rasi, often with lagnam.
  • Gujarat and Rajasthan: gotra and native village, often with the mosal (mother’s family).
  • North India: gotra of both father and mother, and whether you are manglik.

When the horoscope isn’t relevant

Plenty of Hindu families no longer match kundlis. Remove the horoscope fields and pick a modern design without a deity line. Nothing else on the biodata needs to change. Browse modern templates.

FAQs

What horoscope details go in a Hindu biodata?
Time and place of birth, rashi, nakshatra, gotra and manglik status. Include only what your family uses.
What if I don’t know my nakshatra?
Leave it blank, or ask your family pandit; it comes from your exact birth time and place.
Should I mention manglik status?
If the other families are likely to ask, yes. Write Yes, No or Anshik.
Can I attach my kundli to the biodata?
Send it as a separate file. Many families prefer to exchange the kundli after the biodata.
Can I make a Hindu biodata in Hindi?
Yes. Make the biodata in Hindi with the same fields.
