The opening line
Most Marathi biodatas begin with ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥. Some families write the name of their kuldaivat, such as ॥ श्री खंडोबा प्रसन्न ॥, or start with शुभ विवाह.
What makes a Marathi biodata Marathi
Three lines appear in Marathi biodatas far more often than elsewhere:
- देवक (devak): the family emblem, such as panchpallav, a kalamb tree or a sword. Many families avoid marriage between the same devak.
- कुलदैवत (kuldaivat): the family deity, which tells families a lot about region and customs.
- मामाचे नाव (mama's name): the maternal uncle's name and town, because the mama has a central role in the wedding.
If your family doesn't follow one of these, leave it out. They are customs, not requirements.
Marathi or English digits
Both are fine: १९९८ or 1998. Marathi digits feel traditional and look beautiful in the Paithani design; English digits are easier for relatives abroad. Pick one and use it throughout the biodata.
Writing names correctly
Write names exactly as the family writes them in Marathi, usually with the father's name in the middle (अपूर्वा सुधीर पाटील). If you type in English letters, check the Devanagari carefully. A wrong letter in a surname is the first thing elders notice.
