A marriage biodata that looks cared for

Lay out a one page biodata in Hindi, Marathi or English, with proper Devanagari fonts and a clear list of what to include.

Start from one of these

There are biodata layouts for Hindi and English, Marathi and Bengali, each with the fields families expect already in place. Change the details, swap the photo and export a print ready A4.

A marriage biodata is usually the first thing another family sees, and it is often a hurried Word file with a stretched photo. A calm, well set single page says a lot before anyone reads a word. Here is what to put on it, and how to make it in Hindi or Marathi without the fonts falling apart.

The fields most families expect

Personal details: full name, date of birth, time and place of birth (these three matter if the families will match kundlis), height, and education. Marathi biodata usually reads नाव, जन्म तारीख, जन्म वेळ, जन्म स्थळ, उंची, शिक्षण. Hindi biodata reads नाम, जन्म तिथि, जन्म समय, जन्म स्थान, कद, शिक्षा.

Work: occupation, employer and city. Income is common but optional, and many families now share it only once there is mutual interest.

Horoscope details, if your family uses them: रास or राशि, नक्षत्र, गण, नाडी, गोत्र, and whether the person is मांगलिक. Marathi biodata often adds देवक and कुलदैवत.

Family: father's name and occupation, mother's name and occupation, siblings with their marital status, native place, and the current address. Finish with one contact number and the name of the person to call, usually a parent.

What you can leave out

A biodata is not a legal document. You do not need to list every relative, and you do not need to describe complexion or weight. Plenty of families now leave those lines off entirely, and the page reads better for it.

A short line about the person, two or three sentences on what they enjoy and what they are looking for, does more than a list of hobbies. Write it in their own voice if they are comfortable with that.

Layout, photo and size

Keep it to one A4 page. Use one heading font and one body font, and line up every label in a single column so the eye can scan down. A blessing like ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ at the top is traditional and fits well as a small centred line.

Use one recent photo, cropped from the chest up, in natural light. Do not stretch it to fit a box. Crop it inside the frame instead, so the face keeps its proportions.

Export a PDF for sharing and printing, and a PNG if relatives want to forward it on WhatsApp. A PDF keeps the Devanagari text sharp at any zoom.

Typing in Hindi or Marathi

Bitgrain does not transliterate. Type with a Hindi or Marathi keyboard, such as Gboard on your phone or the built-in input on Windows and macOS, or paste text from a document. Names with conjuncts, like कृष्णा, श्रेया or ऋतुजा, render correctly in the bundled Devanagari fonts.

Bilingual biodata is fine too. Labels in Marathi with values in English is a common, readable mix, especially for email addresses and company names.

Common questions

Is the biodata maker free?

Yes. Editing is free. Free exports carry a small watermark and are capped at 1080 pixels. Pro exports at full resolution, which is better for printing.

Can I make a Marathi biodata?

Yes. Marathi uses Devanagari, and the studio includes fonts such as Martel, Eczar, Laila and Anek Devanagari that handle ळ and Marathi conjuncts.

Does Bitgrain generate the biodata for me?

No. There is no generative AI in Bitgrain. You type every detail yourself, which is how it should be for something this personal.

Where are the biodata templates?

Start from the Hindi and English, Marathi or Bengali biodata above. The one page resume layouts in the gallery also adapt well if you want a plainer look.
