Jain marriage biodata
Start from this page and your biodata opens with ॥ जय जिनेन्द्र ॥, with fields for your sect and food habits already in place. You can change the line at the top to anything your family prefers.
Jain families often look for a match within the same sect and community, and food habits matter more than in most biodatas. The horoscope fields are there if your family uses them; leave them empty and they will not print.

Details Jain families usually include
- Sect
- Shwetambar, with its Murtipujak (Derawasi), Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi traditions, or Digambar. Many families prefer a match within the same sect, so put it near the top.
- Community (samaj)
- For example Oswal, Porwal, Shrimali, Agarwal Jain or Khandelwal. Add it as your own field if your family considers it.
- Gotra
- Some Jain communities follow gotra rules for marriage. Include it if yours does, and leave it out if not.
- Food habits
- Often the first thing a Jain family asks. Be specific: Jain food without onion, garlic or root vegetables, vegetarian, or whether you follow chauvihar (no food after sunset).
- Native place
- Many Jain families trace their roots to Rajasthan or Gujarat even when settled elsewhere. Your native place helps families find people they know in common.
- Religious practice
- Optional, and best kept for About me: daily pooja or samayik, Paryushan fasts, or pathshala studies.
Writing the family details
- Father's occupation
- Many Jain families run a business. Say what kind and where, for example “diamond trading, Mumbai” or “textile manufacturing, Surat”.
- Maternal family
- The maternal grandfather's or uncle's name and town. Families often use it to find people they know in common.
- Brothers and sisters
- How many, married or not, and what they do, including whether a brother has joined the family business.
- Where the family lives
- Your native place and where you are settled now, if they differ: “Native place Bikaner, settled in Kolkata”.
How families narrow down a match
Families often look at sect first, then community, then gotra. Some also prefer a family from the same region, such as a Marwari, Gujarati or Maharashtrian Jain family, because customs and food differ between them.
If any of these does not matter to you, say so in your partner expectations, for example “sect no bar”. It widens the families who will reply, and saves time for those who would otherwise hold back.
Biodatas for a parichay sammelan
Many Jain samaj groups hold introduction meets, called parichay sammelan, where families exchange biodatas and the organisers print them in a booklet. A clean one-page biodata with a clear photo stands out in those booklets.
Download the A4 PDF if the organisers print the booklet, or the image if they collect biodatas on WhatsApp. Keep the same biodata saved in the maker so you can update it before the next meet.
The line at the top
॥ जय जिनेन्द्र ॥ is set for you. Many families use the first line of the Navkar Mantra instead, ॥ णमो अरिहंताणं ॥, or simply ॥ श्री ॥. You can type any line you prefer, or leave it empty.

Questions
What should a Jain marriage biodata include?
Your sect, community and gotra if your family uses them, food habits, education and work, family details, native place, a few lines about you, and a contact number. Most open with Jai Jinendra or the Navkar Mantra.
Should I mention Shwetambar or Digambar?
Yes, if your family prefers a match within the same sect. Write it in the Sect field, with your tradition if you like, such as Shwetambar Sthanakvasi.
How do I write Jain food habits?
Plainly and specifically: “Jain food, no onion, garlic or root vegetables”, “Vegetarian”, or “Jain food, follows chauvihar”.
Which line goes at the top of a Jain biodata?
Jai Jinendra is the most common. The first line of the Navkar Mantra, ॥ णमो अरिहंताणं ॥, is also widely used.
Do Jain families match horoscopes?
Some do and many do not. The horoscope fields are in the maker if you need them; if you leave them empty, they do not appear on the biodata.
Can I use this biodata for a parichay sammelan?
Yes. Download the A4 PDF for a printed booklet, or the image if the organisers collect biodatas on WhatsApp.
Should I mention my community, such as Oswal or Porwal?
If your family looks for a match within the community, yes. Add a Community field in personal details; otherwise leave it out.
Can I keep separate biodatas for different family groups?
Yes. Duplicate your biodata in My biodatas and change the copy, for example the photo or contact person. Both stay saved on your device.
