What a Tamil marriage biodata includes
- Personal: name, date & place of birth, height, complexion, education, occupation.
- Lineage & astrology: as Tamil families expect (ஜாதக பொருத்தம் (10 porutham)) — details below.
- Family: parents' names & occupations, siblings, native place.
- Contact & a clear photo.
Tamil-specific details that matter
Tamil matchmaking is horoscope-led: jathagam (ஜாதகம்), natchathiram (star), rasi, the 10 poruthams with Rajju as gatekeeper, and Sevvai dosham (Mars). Brahmins (Iyer/Iyengar) use gotram; non-Brahmins use kula deivam (family deity) + kootam/kulam (clan) + ooru (native place). Iyengar adds Vadakalai/Thenkalai.

The one-page structure (in order)
- Header — a respectful invocation and the name.
- Personal — date & place of birth, height, complexion, education, occupation, income.
- Lineage & astrology — ஜாதக பொருத்தம் (10 porutham), 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.
- Don't send an editable Word (.docx) file — export a PDF; .docx breaks across phones.
- Don't forward a screenshot — it blurs on every forward; share a live link instead.
Send a link, not a screenshot
Tamil families now exchange biodatas on WhatsApp. A live link looks sharp on every forward and you can fix a typo anytime — unlike a blurry screenshot or a heavy Word file.
