Kunbi Marriage Biodata Format

What Goes in a Kunbi Biodata for Marriage?

A Kunbi lagnacha biodata (marriage biodata) starts with the usual birth details and job. Then come the lines that matter to Kunbi elders:

• the devak, because many families avoid a match where both sides share it
• the kuldaivat with its temple place
• the sub-group, written in the caste line
• the mul gaav with taluka and district
• the land, if the family farms
• the mama (maternal uncle) and his village

Kunbi families live across Maharashtra, and the biodata shifts a little with the region. A Tirale Kunbi family in Wardha and a Leva Patil family in Jalgaon both write Kunbi, but each looks first for its own sub-group.

Devak and Kuldaivat

The devak is the family's guardian emblem, usually a tree or plant such as the pipal, passed down the father's line. It works the way it does for Maratha families. Many families avoid a match where both sides share the same devak, so it goes near the top, the way a gotra does on a Brahmin biodata. Our Maratha biodata guide explains the devak in more detail.

Not sure of yours? Ask an elder in the village. City-born children often have never heard it, but the village usually knows.

The kuldaivat is the family deity and its temple. Common ones in Kunbi families include Khandoba of Jejuri, Tulja Bhavani of Tuljapur, Renuka Mata of Mahur and Ekvira Aai of Karla. Write the deity with the place, the way your elders say it.

Our form has no Devak or Kuldaivat field. Add both with Add Your Own Field in Personal Details. The field name can be up to 40 characters, and you can type it in English or in Marathi.

Sub-Groups and the Caste Line

The sub-group goes in Caste / Community. Our community list has Kunbi with Tirale, Dhanoje, Khaire, Leva Patil, Lonari, Ghatole, Jhare and Maratha Kunbi, among others. Type the first letters and pick it, or write it the way your family writes it on its papers: "Hindu Kunbi (Tirale)" or "Kunbi Maratha". Typed text prints exactly as typed.

This list is not complete, and the names change from district to district. Leva Patil families of Jalgaon are not the same as the Leuva Patidars of Gujarat, though the names sound close. Gujarati Patidar families will find our Patel marriage biodata page closer to their custom.

Open to other Kunbi sub-groups, or to Maratha families? Write it at the end of About Me. Nobody will assume it.

Patrika, Gan and Nadi

Most Kunbi families match the patrika (horoscope) before a meeting, and many also check gan and nadi. Keep the exact time of birth on the biodata.

Our form fills rashi, nakshatra and lagna from the date, time and place of birth, using the Lahiri ayanamsa. Manglik you choose yourself in the Chevvai / Manglik line, from No, Yes, Partial or Don't Know. Gan and nadi are not fields in our form, so add them with Add Your Own Field in the horoscope section, copying them from the patrika your family has.

If your family does not match patrikas, switch off "Include horoscope on the biodata". The devak and kuldaivat then stay safe in Personal Details, which is where we suggested adding them anyway.

Land, Mama and Mul Gaav

Kunbi families write the family section in full. Farming is respected, and a short land line tells the other side a lot:

• Farmer, 8 acres of cotton and soybean, Hinganghat
• Banana orchard, 5 acres, Raver taluka
• Farming and dairy, 3 acres, Chiplun

Land goes in the Property chip under Add More Details in Family Details. The mama goes in the Maternal Uncle chip with his village. Write the mul gaav in Native Place with taluka and district, even if the family has lived in Pune for years.

A Filled Kunbi Marriage Biodata Format for a Boy

The boy and his family are made up, and the number is masked. His rashi and nakshatra fill in from the birth details, so they are not in this table.

For a Kunbi girl, the same lines apply. Write her education and job fully, and say in About Me whether she will keep working after marriage.

Header Line on a Marathi Biodata

With the Ganesha symbol, a Marathi biodata starts with ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥. The Marathi list also has ॥ श्री ॥, ॥ श्री कुलस्वामिनी प्रसन्न ॥ and ॥ श्री कुलदेवता प्रसन्न ॥. The last two point to the kuldaivat without naming one. To name your own deity, such as Khandoba, tap Write My Own and type the line.

Marathi or English, and Samaj Melavas

Most Kunbi families print in Marathi. Type the details in English and choose Marathi. The labels then print in Marathi, along with rashi and nakshatra. Names and your own lines print as you typed them. Families with a son or daughter working abroad often keep an English copy too. See the Marathi marriage biodata page for the Marathi print.

Kunbi samaj organisations in many Vidarbha districts hold vadhu-var parichay melavas, and WhatsApp groups now carry most biodatas. We do not run any group. Keep the one-page image for WhatsApp and the PDF for the printed melava book.
