Marathi Biodata Sample
This page shows a complete, filled-in example Marathi marriage biodata. The name and details below are entirely fictional, used only to demonstrate what a finished biodata looks like once every field is filled in. Use it as a reference while filling in your own on the biodata maker.
Example: personal information
| Full name | Aditi Vinayak Kulkarni (example) |
|---|---|
| Date of birth | 14 June 1997 |
| Place of birth | Nashik, Maharashtra |
| Height | 5'4" / 163 cm |
| Complexion | Fair |
| Marital status | Never married |
| Mother tongue | Marathi |
| Religion | Hindu |
| Caste / sub-caste | Maratha, 96 Kuli |
| Gotra | Kashyap |
| Manglik status | Non-Manglik |
| Rashi / Nakshatra | Mithun Rashi, Punarvasu Nakshatra |
| Nadi | Madhya |
| Gan | Manushya |
Notice how each field is a short, factual entry rather than a sentence. Gotra, rashi, nadi and gan are filled in here because this example assumes the family tracks them; leaving all four blank would be equally correct for a family or community that does not.
Example: education & career
| Education | M.Com, Savitribai Phule Pune University, 2020 |
|---|---|
| Occupation | Chartered Accountant |
| Company / organisation | A mid-sized audit firm, Pune |
| Annual income | (left blank in this example, on request) |
Income is left blank here on purpose: it is one of the most commonly omitted fields on a real biodata, and "on request" or simply an empty field is a normal, complete way to handle it rather than an oversight.
Example: family information
| Father's name | Vinayak Ramchandra Kulkarni |
|---|---|
| Father's occupation | Retired bank manager |
| Mother's name | Sunanda Vinayak Kulkarni |
| Mother's occupation | Homemaker |
| Siblings | 1 elder brother, married; 1 younger sister, unmarried |
| Family type | Nuclear family |
| Native place | Nashik, Maharashtra |
The siblings field stays a short, plain description, not a paragraph. Listing birth order (elder or younger) and marital status for each sibling is the standard level of detail; more than that is rarely needed.
Example: contact details
| Phone | +91 98xxxxxxx0 (example, digits masked) |
|---|---|
| example@sample-address.invalid | |
| Address | Pune, Maharashtra |
On a real biodata, use a number and email you actually check regularly, since this is how an interested family reaches out. City and state is usually enough detail for the address field; a full street address is not typically required. Whatever contact details you type into the biodata maker stay on your own device while you build it; see the privacy policy for the full explanation.
Example: about me
"I enjoy reading, classical Kathak dance, and spending weekends with family. I value honesty and a good sense of humour, and I am looking for someone who shares similar family values and is settled in their career."
Notice the length: three sentences, covering personality, values, and what the candidate is looking for. This is close to the typical length for this section; a much longer paragraph tends to get skimmed rather than read in full.
Adjusting the example for a different situation
The example above assumes a first marriage. A few fields typically change for other situations. For a divorced or widowed candidate, the marital status field simply reads "Divorced" or "Widowed" instead of "Never married", and many families choose to omit the manglik field entirely for a second marriage, since it is primarily checked before a first marriage in most traditions that observe it. Where relevant, a short, factual line can be added to the family information section, for example "1 child from previous marriage, residing with candidate", rather than leaving the reader to ask about it separately later.
For a candidate working or settled outside India, the contact and family information sections stay the same, but it is common to add the country of residence next to the current city (for example, "Pune, Maharashtra, currently based in Dubai, UAE") and to note visa or residency status briefly in the occupation or about-me section if it is relevant to the match being considered. None of these situations require a different format overall; they only change which optional fields are filled in and which are left out, following the same section order shown above.
What this example leaves out, and why that is fine
This example does not include time of birth, since it is only used for astrological matching by families that check it, and this example assumes that is not a priority. It also leaves the annual income field blank, as explained above. Neither omission makes the biodata incomplete: a biodata only needs to include the fields that are actually relevant to the person filling it in and the family reading it, not every field that could theoretically be filled in.
For a full explanation of what each section is for and why the order matters, see the Marathi biodata format guide. To fill in your own version of this example with your real details, use the Marathi biodata maker, which follows the exact same section order shown above.
