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.
Other formats
To see every row written out in the script instead, the Gujarati marriage biodata format prints the same sheet with its labels translated.
Every set prints in any language the form offers — the marriage biodata format guide lists them all.
