South Indian Marriage Biodata Format
A South Indian biodata is not a Hindu one with different words. The jathagam is longer and it is the part read first — nakshatra is given with its padam, and lagnam and kula deivam appear where a North Indian sheet has neither.
Preview costs nothing. The price is shown before you pay.
What a South Indian biodata carries
- Padam
- The quarter of the nakshatra. A South Indian sheet states it; most others stop at the star.
- Lagnam
- The ascendant at birth, printed alongside the rasi.
- Kula Deivam
- The family temple, kept for generations and often checked before anything else.
- Gothram
- The paternal line, spelled as the region spells it.

Questions
- What is padam on a biodata?
- The quarter of the birth star. A South Indian jathagam states nakshatra and padam together, which is why this format has a row for it.
- What is kula deivam?
- The family's temple deity. Many families check it before the horoscope, so it sits in the same block.
- Can I make this biodata in Tamil?
- Yes — the form prints in eleven scripts, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
Other formats
To see every row written out in the script instead, the Tamil 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.
