Gujarati Marriage Biodata Format
Gujarati families have their own vocabulary for a biodata, and it is not a dialect of the general Hindu one. Nakh, samaj, gam and mosal each carry a distinct meaning, and a sheet missing them is missing what the other family is reading for.
Preview costs nothing. The price is shown before you pay.
What a Gujarati biodata carries
- Nakh
- The clan.
- Samaj
- The circle a match is made inside — Leuva and Kadva Patel do not intermarry as a rule.
- Gam
- The ancestral village, printed even by families three generations out of it.
- Mosal
- The mother's maiden family and village — how two families work out whether they are already connected.

Questions
- What is nakh on a Gujarati biodata?
- The clan. It sits with samaj near the top of the sheet.
- What is the difference between samaj and caste?
- Samaj is the circle a match is made inside, and it is narrower — Leuva and Kadva Patel are both Patel and do not intermarry as a rule.
- Why is the mother's village included?
- It is how two families check whether they are already related. This format prints it as the mosal block.
