Marathi Biodata Header Lines and Titles

The top of a Marathi marriage biodata has three parts: a god's symbol, one blessing line and a title. The most common choice is the Ganesha symbol, the line "Shri Ganeshay Namah" and the title "Lagnacha Biodata" (marriage biodata). Many Marathi families pick "Shri Kuldevata Prasanna" or "Shri Swami Samarth" as the line.

Each of the three can be switched off. A biodata with no symbol and no line is perfectly fine too.

The Six Hindu Lines in Our Marathi List

When you pick Marathi as the biodata language, these six lines are offered first for a Hindu biodata. They print in Devanagari. Here they are in English letters with their meaning.

The second one prints as ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥, with the double danda (॥) on both sides. You do not need to type the dandas. They come with the line.

If you pick the Ganesha symbol, the form picks "Shri Ganeshay Namah" for you. You can change it with one tap.

Lines for a Particular Deity

Many Marathi homes write their own deity at the top: Khandoba, Tuljabhavani, Ambabai of Kolhapur, Vitthal of Pandharpur, Jyotiba. These are not in the ready list. Use "Write My Own" and type the line the way your family says it, for example "Shri Ambabai Prasanna" in Devanagari.

Keep the spelling and the form the family uses. "Shri Khandoba Prasanna" and "Jai Malhar" are both said in Khandoba households. Pick the one your elders write on wedding cards.

Our page on devak in a marriage biodata shows how to write the kuldaivat as a separate row, if you want it in the body as well.

Lines for Other Faiths

The list follows the symbol you pick, so the right lines come up for each faith.

Marathi Buddhist families have their own page: Buddhist biodata in Marathi.

Lines in other languages, such as the Hindi "Jai Mata Di", also appear in the list under their own language heading. You are not limited to the Marathi group.

The Title

Our Marathi title list has four options, plus two English ones.

For a boy, the matching title "Var Parichay" is not in the list. Type it with "Write My Own" if you want it. Some families also put the name in the title, like "Chi. Amitcha Biodata", which is fine too.

Keep the Top Short

One symbol, one line, one title. That is enough.

Two mantras, a shloka and a line for the grandfather push the real details down. On a phone the reader sees the blessing and the photo but has to scroll for the job line. On paper it can push the family section onto a second page.

If a line matters to your family but is long, use it on the wedding card later, not on the biodata.

Can an English Biodata Carry a Marathi Line?

Yes. On an English biodata the Blessing Line starts switched off. Turn it on and the list shows lines from every language, the Marathi ones under a "Marathi" heading. The line still prints in Devanagari, which most Marathi readers prefer.

A line in English letters, like "|| Shri Ganeshaya Namah ||", is not in our list. If you want it, type it with Write My Own.

How to Set the Top in Our Maker

4. Pick the title, or write your own.
5. Use the switch next to any of the three to hide it.

Our English page on marriage biodata headings covers the lines used in other states.
