For a large number of Indian families, especially in Hindi-speaking states like UP, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Jharkhand, a biodata written in Hindi feels more personal and culturally appropriate. Whether you are creating a biodata for yourself or helping a family member, this guide covers the correct format, terminology, and etiquette for a Hindi marriage biodata.
Structure of a Hindi biodata. A Hindi biodata typically begins with "|| श्री गणेशाय नमः ||" or "|| ॐ ||" at the top, followed by "बायोडाटा" or "परिचय पत्र" as the heading. The sections follow a standard order: व्यक्तिगत जानकारी (Personal Information), शैक्षिक योग्यता (Education), व्यावसायिक जानकारी (Career Details), पारिवारिक जानकारी (Family Details), कुंडली विवरण (Horoscope Details), and अपेक्षा (Partner Preferences). Each section should be clearly labelled with bold headings.
Essential Hindi terminology. Here are the key terms you will need: पूरा नाम (Full Name), जन्म तिथि (Date of Birth), जन्म समय (Birth Time), जन्म स्थान (Birth Place), ऊँचाई (Height), वर्ण (Complexion), धर्म (Religion), जाति (Caste), उपजाति (Sub-caste), गोत्र (Gotra), राशि (Rashi), नक्षत्र (Nakshatra), मांगलिक (Manglik Status), शिक्षा (Education), व्यवसाय (Occupation), वार्षिक आय (Annual Income), पिता का नाम (Father's Name), माता का नाम (Mother's Name), भाई-बहन (Siblings).
Formatting tips for a polished look. Use a clean Devanagari font like Noto Sans Devanagari or Mangal. Avoid mixing Hindi and English unnecessarily — if you write the biodata in Hindi, keep it consistently in Hindi. However, it is acceptable to write your company name, degree abbreviations (B.Tech, MBA), and city names in English. Keep sentences short and factual. For the "About Me" section (स्वयं के बारे में), write 3-4 lines describing your personality, interests, and values.
