A Kerala marriage biodata has its own rhythm. It opens with ശ്രീ ഗണേശായ നമഃ, ഓം or ദൈവത്തിന് സ്തുതി, names the നക്ഷത്രം (നാള്) before almost anything else, and gives the തറവാട് or house name that tells an older relative exactly which family you belong to. This page gives you the full marriage biodata format Malayalam families expect, every label in Malayalam script, a sample to copy, and a free one-page PDF or WhatsApp image at the end.
You don’t need to hunt for a blank form or a biodata format online free of charge that asks for money at the end. Open the biodata editor, set the labels to Malayalam, type over the sample and download. It is a biodata for marriage Kerala Hindu, Syrian Christian, Catholic and Mappila Muslim families can all use, with no account and no watermark.
The Kerala marriage biodata format, section by section
This is the order a traditional kerala marriage biodata format follows. Every row is optional, and empty rows are hidden automatically, so a Christian biodata never shows a blank ജാതകം line.
- Heading line: ശ്രീ ഗണേശായ നമഃ, ഓം, ദൈവത്തിന് സ്തുതി or Bismillah, with an optional symbol such as Om, Lotus, Cross or Crescent.
- വ്യക്തിഗത വിവരങ്ങൾ (personal details): പേര്, ജനന തീയതി, ജനന സമയം, ജനന സ്ഥലം, ഉയരം, ഭക്ഷണരീതി, വൈവാഹിക നില, മാതൃഭാഷ. നിറം (complexion) is optional; many families now leave it out.
- ജാതക വിവരങ്ങൾ (horoscope details), for Hindu families: നക്ഷത്രം, രാശി, ചൊവ്വാദോഷം, and ജാതി or ഉപജാതി if your family wants them shown.
- മതപരമായ വിവരങ്ങൾ (religious details), for Christian and Muslim families: സഭാവിഭാഗം, ഇടവക, രൂപത for Christians; വിഭാഗം, സമുദായം, മതാചരണം for Muslims.
- വിദ്യാഭ്യാസവും ജോലിയും: qualification, job, employer, work location and annual income.
- കുടുംബ വിവരങ്ങൾ: father’s and mother’s names and jobs, brothers and sisters, തറവാട് or house name, സ്വദേശം.
- എന്നെക്കുറിച്ച് (about me) and പങ്കാളിയെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള പ്രതീക്ഷകൾ (expectations).
- ബന്ധപ്പെടാനുള്ള വിവരങ്ങൾ: contact person, relation, phone and വിലാസം.
It is the broad biodata format in India, with Kerala rows added. The only biodata sample format download you need is your own finished page.
Kerala Hindu: നക്ഷത്രം, ജാതകം, ചൊവ്വാദോഷം
The Hindu preset is the marriage biodata template Hindu families start from; with Malayalam labels it becomes a Hindu marriage biodata maker for Kerala. The star comes first in most homes. Write the നക്ഷത്രം as your family says it, for example Rohini, Thiruvathira or Uthradam, and the രാശി (often called കൂറ്) such as Edavam or Makaram. For ചൊവ്വാദോഷം write Yes, No, or a short note the astrologer gave you. For extra rows such as ശിഷ്ടദശ (dasa balance at birth) or a papasamyam note, use “Add field”.
ജാതി (Nair, Ezhava, Thiyya, Namboothiri, Vishwakarma or any other) and ഉപജാതി are there if your family wants them shown. That is your family’s choice; leave the row empty and it disappears. കുലദൈവം (family deity) is a ready row too, and some families write the പരദേവത or the family temple instead.
Syrian Christian and Catholic: ഇടവക, രൂപത, വികാരി
The Christian preset leaves out horoscope rows and brings in സഭാവിഭാഗം (denomination: Syro-Malabar Catholic, Syro-Malankara Catholic, Latin Catholic, Malankara Orthodox, Jacobite Syrian, Mar Thoma, CSI, Pentecostal or other), ഇടവക (your parish), രൂപത (diocese) and ഇടവക വികാരി (the parish priest as a reference). Add മാമോദീസ (baptism) if your family expects it. The house name matters a great deal in Syrian Christian families, so write it next to the father’s name, for example “Thomas Joseph, Puthenpurackal house”. See the Christian marriage biodata guide for every field.
Mappila Muslim: വിഭാഗം, സമുദായം, മതാചരണം
The Muslim preset opens with بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ and has no horoscope rows. With Malayalam labels, sect reads വിഭാഗം, community reads സമുദായം and religious practice reads മതാചരണം. Write what your family would say, for example “Sunni (Shafi’i)” and “Prays five times a day”. Add a നമസ്കാരം row if you want to be specific. The Muslim marriage biodata page covers these fields in detail.

This indian marriage biodata sample fits on one page with room to spare. Treat it as a sample bio data format, not a rule. For a Syrian Christian version, replace the horoscope rows with ഇടവക and രൂപത; for a Mappila family, use വിഭാഗം and മതാചരണം instead. If you need a biodata for marriage example in plain English, switch the labels back to English with one click. There is no separate marriage biodata sample download; the sample loads in the editor.
Heading line options for Hindu, Christian and Muslim families
The heading line is the first thing anyone reads, and it is where a marriage biodata format Indian families use shows the most variety. Pick one from the list in the editor or type your own into the same box:
- ശ്രീ ഗണേശായ നമഃ is in the Hindu list and is the usual Kerala Hindu start.
- ഓം or ശ്രീ alone gives a shorter, quieter line; type it into the heading box.
- ദൈവത്തിന് സ്തുതി (Praise be to God) is in the Christian list, along with J.M.J. and Mark 10:9.
- بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ or ﷽ for Mappila Muslim families.
- None, if your family prefers a plain page.
You can add a small symbol above your name, such as Om, Lotus, Cross or Crescent. We don’t use deity pictures.
The Kasavu template and other designs
Every design here is an Indian marriage biodata template made for one-page printing. The Kasavu template has a cream page with a gold border, taken from the Kerala kasavu saree and mundu. It pairs well with Malayalam script, and you can change the gold accent to any colour with the picker.
Other good choices: Traditional (ornate corners) for a classic look, Floral or Elegant Script for Christian families, Geometric (Islamic eight-point stars, no figures) for Mappila families, and Table or Minimal for a plain, formal page. Want the latest bio data format look? Any of these gives a clean one-page layout in Malayalam fonts, on A4 or US Letter. The biodata format page shows all 13. That is your biodata format template free download: pick a design, fill it and download.
“Fit everything on one page” is on by default, so a long family list shrinks just enough to stay on one sheet.
Biodata format with photo, about me and expectations
Photo guidance
A biodata format with photo works best with a recent, chest-up photo in daylight against a plain wall. A set mundu or kasavu saree suits the Kasavu border; a neat shirt or churidar is just as fine. Avoid filters and group crops. Many families send the first copy without a photo; the show/hide switch keeps the layout complete either way.
About me (എന്നെക്കുറിച്ച്)
I teach physics at a college in Ernakulam and live with my parents. I learned Mohiniyattam for ten years and still enjoy Carnatic music and reading Malayalam novels. I value a calm home and close family ties.
Expectations (പങ്കാളിയെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള പ്രതീക്ഷകൾ)
Looking for an educated, kind and family-minded partner, preferably working in Kerala or the Gulf. Matching nakshatra and a respectful approach between both families matter to us.
For a Christian biodata you might write “A God-fearing Syro-Malabar Catholic partner who values family”; for a Mappila biodata, “A deen-conscious, educated partner from a respectable family”. Two or three lines each is enough.
PDF for printing, JPG for WhatsApp
- PDF with real, selectable Malayalam text, usually 30 to 200 KB. It prints sharply on A4 and is the right biodata format download pdf for email and matrimony sites.
- JPG or PNG at double resolution, one image per page. This is what most Kerala families forward on WhatsApp, including to relatives in the Gulf.
- Print / Save as PDF from the browser, which works even offline.
So a biodata format free download pdf here is simply your filled page, and the same goes for anyone after a marriage biodata sample pdf or a simple biodata format pdf. People also ask for a biodata format for free or a biodata format sample pdf to copy by hand; the editor saves you the copying.
If you searched for “biodata format sample in word” or a “simple biodata format word” file, you probably want to edit later. Your biodata autosaves in the browser, so you can change a line and download again. If a relative insists on Word, download as Word (.docx) too: a simple, editable layout in tables rather than the Kasavu design. Check the Malayalam font on their computer.
Newer tools: Malayalam typing, jathakam chart and sharing
- Type in English, get മലയാളം. Live transliteration turns English letters into Malayalam script as you type, useful for house names and the നക്ഷത്രം.
- Rasi chart block. South or North Indian style, filled with the lagna and planets you copy from the jathakam, or sent over from the free kundli tool with നക്ഷത്രം, രാശി and ചൊവ്വാദോഷം status. Kundli matching gives the 36-point Ashtakoot score (not the ten poruthams), and the Manglik dosh check looks at Chovva and Kaal Sarp dosham. Astrology is a matter of belief, so treat the result as a guide and ask your family’s astrologer for the final word.
- Dropdowns. 27 nakshatras, 12 rashis, height in feet and centimetres, denomination and more; age and day of birth come from the date of birth.
- Relatives as rows. Add siblings in the Gulf, the അമ്മാവൻ and in-laws with relation, name, occupation, married to and place.
- Sharing. One tap sends the JPG to WhatsApp on phones, and a QR code can open a parent’s number.
Comparing Kerala, Tamil and other formats
Families with in-laws from another state often compare formats. The editor switches between all 11 label languages with one click.
| Format | Heading and special rows | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Malayalam (Kerala) | ശ്രീ ഗണേശായ നമഃ; നക്ഷത്രം, ചൊവ്വാദോഷം, തറവാട്, ഇടവക | this page |
| Tamil bio data format | உ; ராசி, நட்சத்திரம், லக்னம், குல தெய்வம் | Tamil biodata |
| Kannada | ಶ್ರೀ ಗಣೇಶಾಯ ನಮಃ; ನಕ್ಷತ್ರ, ಕುಜ ದೋಷ | Kannada biodata |
| Telugu | శ్రీరస్తు శుభమస్తు; నక్షత్రం, కుజ దోషం | Telugu biodata |
| Hindi | ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥; gotra, manglik | Hindi biodata |
| Bengali | গোত্র, কুল, দেশ | Bengali biodata |
Marriage biodata format Tamil families use
Families in Palakkad or Kanyakumari often need both. A marriage biodata format tamil families use starts with the Pillaiyar Suzhi உ and adds லக்னம்; the rest matches this layout. So a marriage biodata in tamil is the same form with the labels switched, and the bio data in tamil keeps your English values as typed. The Tamil guide has a full sample bio data for marriage in tamil and a marriage biodata template tamil layout.
The same editor is an online biodata maker for marriage in tamil too, so you can create marriage biodata online free tamil and Malayalam versions side by side. A bio data for marriage tamil relatives receive comes out as a marriage biodata format tamil pdf or a JPG. It is a free marriage biodata maker tamil and Kerala families share. Searches like “bio data word format tamil”, “tamil marriage biodata word format download” or “marriage biodata format in word in tamil” get the same answer as here: a PDF to share, because Tamil and Malayalam text survive a PDF intact, and a simple .docx if someone needs to edit. If you wanted a “marriage biodata format in tamil pdf download”, that is exactly what you get.
Kannada, Telugu and biodata format in Hindi
A marriage biodata format kannada version uses ಕುಜ ದೋಷ for chovva dosham, which a biodata for marriage kannada in-law will look for. A biodata for marriage telugu version often opens with శ్రీరస్తు శుభమస్తు.
A marriage biodata format in hindi begins with ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ and lists gotra and manglik. Relatives who ask for a matrimonial biodata in hindi get the same page with Hindi labels. The switch gives a marriage biodata template in hindi with your values untouched, and the Hindi biodata page covers biodata writing in hindi in detail.
Biodata format in Bengali, Marathi and English
A biodata for marriage bengali relatives can read uses Bengali labels, the biodata format in bengali most Kolkata families expect; for a bio data bangla format, switch the labels and download. Families asking how to make biodata in marathi get Marathi labels plus the Devak row. An English copy is the biodata in english format most matrimony sites expect, so if a cousin asks for “my biodata in english”, you have it in seconds.
Mistakes to avoid on a Kerala biodata
- Leaving out the house name. In Kerala it often says more than a surname. Write the തറവാട് or വീട്ടുപേര് once.
- Mixing two star spellings. Use one spelling of your നക്ഷത്രം throughout, the one your jathakam uses.
- Broken Malayalam text. Pasting from different apps into Word mixes fonts. Typing into the form keeps the script clean.
- Private details in group shares. Leave out ID numbers and your full street address on copies sent to large groups.
- No contact person. Always name who to call, such as “K. Suresh Menon (father)”, and read the final PDF once before you send it.
How to make biodata in Malayalam: what to collect first
Here is how to make biodata without redoing it. Even the latest biodata for marriage layout is only as good as its facts, so gather these first:
- Birth date, time and place, and the നക്ഷത്രം, രാശി and ചൊവ്വാദോഷം from the family jathakam.
- For Christian families: denomination, parish, diocese and the vicar’s name. For Muslim families: sect, community and how you describe your practice.
- House name or തറവാട്, സ്വദേശം, correct spellings of every name, a recent photo, and the phone number of the elder who will take calls.
With that ready, the builder takes about ten minutes. For other communities, read the marriage biodata guide or the Hindu marriage biodata page. Need a job bio-data instead? See biodata for job.
