How to make a marriage biodata, step by step
A good biodata is one clear A4 page that tells the other family who you are, where you come from and how to reach you. Here is how to make one in about ten minutes, on your phone or laptop.
7 steps
- Collect the details firstBirth date, time and place; height; education and job; parents' names and occupations; brothers and sisters; native place; a contact number. Keep the horoscope (kundali) handy if your family uses it.
- Choose a clear, recent photoA front-facing photo in good daylight, on a plain background, from the last six months. Avoid group photos, sunglasses and heavy filters.
- Pick the languageWrite in the language both families read comfortably: English, Hindi or Marathi. You can type the details in any language.
- Fill the sections in orderPersonal details, horoscope details, education and career, family, a few lines about yourself, partner expectations, and contact details.
- Choose a designA traditional border (Rangoli, Toran, Kairi and more) and one main colour. Keep it simple so the details stand out.
- Check everythingRead names, dates and phone numbers twice. Ask a parent to check family names and relations.
- Download and sharePrint the A4 PDF for meetings, and send the JPG on WhatsApp so it opens instantly on any phone.
Mistakes to avoid
- A blurry or very old photo.
- Two pages of text: families read the first page only.
- Wrong birth time — it changes the horoscope match.
- No contact number, or a number nobody answers.
- Long paragraphs about yourself: three lines are enough.
- Sharing details you are not comfortable with — every field is optional.

One A4 page. If there is more text, the maker makes the letters slightly smaller so it still fits on one page.

Yes. shubhbiodata.in works in the phone browser; there is no app and no sign-up, and your details stay on your phone.
Should I write my salary?
It is optional. Many families write it; you can leave it out or hide that row.
Which format is best: PDF or JPG?
Both. The PDF is for printing; the JPG is easier to open on WhatsApp.
