What should a Gujarati marriage biodata include?

Name, samaj, date of birth, height, education and occupation, then the family — both parents' names and occupations and how many brothers and sisters — and finally native place and current residence. Diet and habits go at the end. Anything you would rather not share can simply be left out.

Should the biodata be written in Gujarati or English?

Write it in the language the families reading it are most comfortable with. Gujarati reads warmer to elders and to samaj groups in India; English travels better if the biodata will reach relatives abroad. This tool produces either, so you can make both and send whichever suits.

How long should a marriage biodata be?

One or two pages. A biodata is read quickly, often on a phone in a WhatsApp group, and a long one gets skimmed rather than read. If it runs past two pages, cut the detail rather than shrink the type.

Gujarati biodata format for marriage

This is the format most Gujarati families expect to receive: name and samaj up top, then the physical details, then the family, then where you are from and where you live now. It is the layout that reads as familiar when it lands in a WhatsApp group.

What this format includes

Samaj and native place shown high up, where families look first
Full family block — both parents' names and occupations, brothers and sisters
Bilingual output: the same biodata in English or Gujarati
Optional photo at the top of page one

Tips for this format

Write the samaj the way your family says it out loud — Leuva Patel, Kadva Patel, Shrimali Brahmin — not just the surname.
Native place matters more than people expect. Many families short-list on it alone.
Keep it to one or two pages. A long biodata gets skimmed, not read.
