What is a marriage biodata?
A marriage biodata (also called a matrimonial biodata, shaadi biodata or rishta profile) is a one or two page document that introduces a prospective bride or groom to another family. It summarises personal details such as name, date of birth, height and religion; education and career; family background; and contact information. In many Indian communities it also includes horoscope details like Rashi, Nakshatra, Gotra and Manglik status.
Why use an online biodata maker instead of Word?
Formatting a biodata in MS Word takes hours and rarely looks good on a phone. BiodataPress gives you professionally designed templates where the layout, borders, fonts and colours are already perfect. You only fill in your details. The result is a clean, consistent PDF that looks impressive whether it is printed, emailed or forwarded on WhatsApp.
