A clan totem — a plant, bird or tool — rather than a deity. Two families sharing the same devak do not marry, which is why it has its own row.

Why are nadi and gan separate rows?

Because a Maharashtrian sheet states the kundli in its parts, and those two are what decide a gun-milan.

Where does the mama's name go?

In the family block, next to the parents. That is the Maharashtrian convention and it differs from the Marwari nanihal block.

Maharashtrian Marriage Biodata Format

Devak is a Maharashtrian row and nothing else — a clan totem, a plant or bird or tool, and two families sharing one do not marry. The kundli is stated in its parts here, so nadi and gan get rows of their own rather than being folded into a gun-milan score.
