Lagna patrika, made digital

Lagna patrika (लग्नपत्रिका) is the Marathi name for the wedding card. People often search for "lagna patrika matter" or "lagna patrika format" because the wording follows a fixed pattern — and getting the honorifics, the muhurta line and the closing right matters to elders.

The lagna patrika format, line by line

  • ॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ — and your kuladevata, e.g. "॥ श्री [कुलदेवता] प्रसन्न ॥"
  • "सप्रेम नमस्कार" or "स.न.वि.वि." as the greeting
  • The bride: "चि. सौ. कां. [नाव]" with "[वडिलांचे नाव] यांची ज्येष्ठ/कनिष्ठ कन्या"
  • The groom: "चि. [नाव]" with "[वडिलांचे नाव] यांचे सुपुत्र"
  • The muhurta: "[वार], दिनांक [दिनांक] रोजी, [वेळ] या शुभमुहूर्तावर"
  • The request: "सहकुटुंब सहपरिवार उपस्थित राहून वधूवरांस शुभाशीर्वाद द्यावेत"
  • Venue, then "आपले नम्र" / "निमंत्रक" with names; "कृपया आहेर आणू नये" if you wish

Why families go digital now

A printed patrika still matters for elders and the temple. But most guests receive a photo of it on WhatsApp, zoom in to find the time, and then search for the karyalay. A digital patrika keeps the same words, shows the map, and can be updated. Many families now print a few and send the link to everyone else.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is "lagna patrika matter"?

It means the text of the card — the standard Marathi wording with the invocation, honorifics, muhurta and request. The sample above is a complete version you can copy and edit.

What does "स.न.वि.वि." mean?

It is a short form of "सप्रेम नमस्कार, विनंती विशेष" — a respectful greeting used at the start of Marathi letters and patrikas.

How do we write "no gifts" politely?

A common line is "कृपया आहेर आणू नये" (please don't bring gifts), sometimes with "आपले आशीर्वाद हाच आमचा आहेर" — your blessings are our gift.

Can we have both a printed and a digital patrika?

Yes. Use the same matter for both. Print a few for elders and the temple, and share the digital one with everyone else.

Can the digital patrika show the karyalay on a map?

Yes — add the address or a Google Maps link and guests get a directions button.
