What a Malayalam marriage biodata includes
- Personal: name, date & place of birth, height, education, occupation.
- Lineage & astrology: as Malayalam families expect (ജാതകം) — details below.
- Family: parents' names & occupations, siblings, native place.
- Contact & a clear photo.
Malayalam-specific details that matter
Kerala uses jathakam + the 10-porutham method (Rajju & Vedha essential) + Chovva/Kuja dosham. Nair families usually list the tharavadu (family house) rather than a gotra. Namboothiri families use the illam/mana house name and look closely at the jathakam. Ezhava families use the standard jathakam.
Community-specific formats
Guidance tailored to: Nair biodata · Menon biodata · Ezhava biodata · Namboothiri biodata.
The one-page structure (in order)
- Header — the name, and an opening line only if your family uses one.
- Personal — date & place of birth, height, education, occupation, income.
- Lineage & astrology — ജാതകം, with gotra/clan and the community fields noted above
- Family — father's & mother's name and occupation, siblings, native place.
- Partner expectations — one or two honest lines.
- Contact — phone/WhatsApp (often a guardian's) and city.
Do's and don'ts
- Do keep it to one clean page — families skim.
- Do add one clear, recent photo.
- Do be honest about height and income — mismatches surface fast.
- Do send families a PDF or link. Keep the Word file for your own edits, because it can look different on other phones.
- Don't forward a screenshot — it blurs on every forward; share a link instead.
Send a link, not a screenshot
Malayalam families now exchange biodatas on WhatsApp. A link looks sharp on every forward, unlike a blurry screenshot or a heavy Word file. Spotted a mistake? Make a new link and delete the old one.
