Marriage Biodata by Religion and Community

What Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist and Parsi families put in a marriage biodata, and the details that matter in each community.

These guides explain what families of each faith and community add to a marriage biodata. A Brahmin family looks for the gotra and pravara. A Maratha family looks for the devak and kuldaivat. A Muslim biodata usually has no horoscope at all, and a Christian one often names the parish.

We describe what families commonly write, not what they should believe or whom they should marry. Spellings and customs differ from family to family, so each guide says where to check with an elder or the family priest.

For the general format, see the Hindu and Muslim biodata pages. Then read the guide for your own community.
