The essentials, and nothing more

These are the only fields most families need for a first introduction.

Nameनाम

Full name with surname.

Date of birth and heightजन्म तिथि, ऊँचाई

Date of birth rather than age, so it stays correct. Height in feet and inches.

Marital status and dietवैवाहिक स्थिति, आहार

Never married, divorced or widowed. Vegetarian, non-vegetarian or eggetarian.

Cityवर्तमान निवास

Where they live now. Many families decide on this first.

Education and workशिक्षा, व्यवसाय

Highest degree, job title and where they work. Income is optional.

Familyपारिवारिक जानकारी

Father’s and mother’s names with their work, and brothers and sisters.

About meमेरे बारे में

Two sentences: their nature and what they enjoy.

Contactसंपर्क

One parent’s name and number.

What you can leave out

• Horoscope details, if your family does not match kundli.
• Income, if you would rather discuss it in person.
• The full home address. A city is enough for the first copy.
• Long lists of hobbies, achievements or relatives.
• A long “partner expectations” paragraph. You can talk about this when families meet.

Keep it easy to read

• One page, one photo, and normal-sized text. Do not shrink the font to fit more in.
• Use the same style throughout: “5′ 8″” everywhere, not a mix of feet and centimetres.
• Check spellings of names, degrees and the city before you share it.
