What exactly is a marriage biodata?+
A marriage biodata is a one-page introduction shared between families during marriage discussions — covering personal details, education, career, family background, and partner preferences. Riishta turns a simple form into a beautifully designed biodata you can share as a link, PDF, or image. Read the full biodata format guide →
Is Riishta really free?+
Yes. Building and sharing your biodata is free — no credit card, no trial. Every template is free to use. The free plan gives you a shareable link, 2 photos, a small footer credit, and 30 days of hosting. Downloading the file is the only paid part: ₹49 one-time unlocks both the PDF and the image, and both are already included on Shagun and Shagun Max. Paid plans are a one-time payment that unlocks more photos, longer hosting, and extra features — not designs. All designs are free on every plan.
Who can see my biodata?+
Only people you share the link with. Every biodata gets a private, unguessable link — it is not listed anywhere on our site, and we tell search engines like Google not to index it. There is no directory or browsing of profiles. On paid plans you can also keep your phone number private, so viewers must send a request before you share your contact.
Can I edit my biodata after creating it?+
Yes. When you create a biodata you receive a private edit link. Open it anytime to update details, change photos, or switch templates within your plan — the public link stays the same.
How do I share it on WhatsApp?+
Just copy your biodata link and paste it into any chat — that costs nothing. WhatsApp automatically shows a rich preview with the name and photo. If the other family would rather have a file, you can download the PDF or image and send that instead (₹49 one-time on the free plan, included on paid plans).
How long does my biodata stay online?+
It depends on your plan: 30 days on Free, 1 year on Shagun, and 2 years on Shagun Max. Paid plans also get a 30-day grace period after expiry to renew before the profile is removed. You can delete it yourself at any time using your edit link, and deletion removes your data and photos permanently.
Is the payment one-time or a subscription?+
Strictly one-time. Pay once for a plan and it's yours for the full hosting period — no renewals, no subscriptions, no hidden charges. Payments are processed securely by Razorpay (UPI, cards, netbanking).
How do I download my biodata as a PDF?+
Open your biodata page and tap the download button — you get a single, print-ready PDF sized exactly to your design, plus a JPG image for WhatsApp. On the free plan one ₹49 payment unlocks both files for good; on Shagun and Shagun Max they are included. Your shareable link is free either way and keeps working after you download.
Can I create a biodata in Hindi or other languages?+
Yes. You can generate your biodata in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, or Gujarati — all the headings and labels switch to your chosen language while you fill the form in English. See how a Hindi biodata works →
Can I make a biodata for my son, daughter, or sibling?+
Of course — many biodatas are made by parents or siblings. Just make sure you have the person's consent; you confirm this with a checkbox before generating.
