What is a Kannada marriage biodata?
A Kannada marriage biodata (ಮದುವೆ ಬಯೋಡೇಟಾ) is the one-page profile families across Karnataka exchange before matching horoscopes. Beyond name, education and job it carries the details a Kannada match is screened on — rashi (ರಾಶಿ), nakshatra (ನಕ್ಷತ್ರ), gotra (ಗೋತ್ರ) and the kuladevaru (ಕುಲದೇವರು — family deity) — with birth date, time and place for jataka (kundali) matching. Most Hindu Kannada families open with a Ganesha invocation, but many Lingayat / Veerashaiva families follow Basava's path, de-emphasise horoscopes and open instead with a Shiva or Guru Basava salutation. The field set shifts by community — Vokkaliga, Lingayat, Brahmin (Madhwa / Smartha) and Kuruba families each screen a little differently.

Which fields matter in a Kannada biodata?
Alongside the usual personal, education and family details, a Kannada biodata carries the lineage and astrology fields used for matching: Gotra (ಗೋತ್ರ — same-gotra matches are usually avoided), Rashi (moon sign) and Nakshatra (birth star) with exact date, time and place of birth for jataka / kundali matching, and the Kuladevaru (ಕುಲದೇವರು — family deity, e.g. Chamundeshwari, Male Mahadeshwara, Banashankari) with the native place. Because matches are usually within the same sub-community, name it clearly — Vokkaliga, Lingayat / Veerashaiva, Brahmin (Madhwa or Smartha) or Kuruba — and, in the North Karnataka and coastal belts, the sub-sect too. One important nuance: many Lingayat / Veerashaiva families de-emphasise horoscope matching, so keep astrology optional — lead with education, job and family, and add rashi / nakshatra only if your family uses them. LagnBiodata has ready fields for all of these; keep what you need and remove the rest.
Tips for a strong Kannada biodata
- State rashi, nakshatra, gotra and kuladevaru clearly, with the exact birth date, time and place for jataka matching.
- Name your community — Vokkaliga, Lingayat / Veerashaiva, Brahmin (Madhwa / Smartha) or Kuruba — since matches are usually within it.
- If your family is Lingayat / Veerashaiva and de-emphasises horoscopes, keep astrology optional and lead with education and job.
- Add your native district and region framing — Old Mysore, North Karnataka or coastal — as many families look for it.
- Keep it to one A4 page, download at 300 DPI so print stays sharp, and share the PDF on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
What should a Kannada marriage biodata include?
Name, date/time/place of birth, rashi, nakshatra, gotra and kuladevaru, your community (Vokkaliga, Lingayat, Brahmin or Kuruba), height, education, job, family details and native place, plus a contact number. The same fields work for a boy's or a girl's biodata.
Do Lingayat / Veerashaiva families use horoscope matching?
Many don't. Following Basava's teachings, a number of Lingayat / Veerashaiva families de-emphasise kundali matching and open with a Shiva or Guru Basava salutation instead of a Ganesha invocation. Keep astrology optional — lead with education, job and family, and add rashi / nakshatra only if your family uses them.
How do I write gotra, rashi, nakshatra and kuladevaru?
Add them as their own labelled rows near the top — Gotra (e.g. Kashyapa), Rashi (moon sign, e.g. Vrishabha), Nakshatra (birth star, e.g. Rohini) and Kuladevaru (family deity, e.g. Chamundeshwari). The sample above shows the Kannada layout.
Is a Kannada marriage biodata free to make?
Yes. Two clean designs are completely free with no watermark; the other 187 decorative designs are a one-time ₹36 per biodata. No signup is needed.
Can I make it in Kannada?
