Types of Prajavani Classified Ads
What Is a Classified Text Ad in Prajavani?
The classified text ad in Prajavani is a word based ad placed in the standard Kannada typeface of the newspaper and is placed in the dedicated classified pages, as well as other ads of a similar nature. You provide the text; Prajavani has it printed in standard way. You're charged per word. You may bold text any words of your choice, usually your name, or mobile number, at a low fee.

What Is a Classified Display Ad in Prajavani?
A classified display advertisement provides you with a bordered space in the classified that you can do whatever you want with it layout-wise- company logo, custom design, photos and call-to-action. It is a charge on a per-centimetre basis. Display ads are more appropriate with recruitment campaigns in which branding of the company is important, real estate developers promoting new business, educational establishments promoting admissions, and corporate announcements where the company must appear to command authority and presence in the page.
When to choose which format: Name changes, legal statements, obituaries and individual property or matrimonial posts: A well-written text advertisement will make the job neatly and economically. When you are a company, an institution or a developer or when the ad must be prominent in the page, then use classified display.
Prajavani Classified Ad Categories — Complete 2026 Guide
The matrimonial ads published by Prajavani are read by Kannada-speaking families across the districts of Karnataka, ranging from IT professionals in Bangalore to agricultural families in Belagavi and Vijayapura districts. No other newspaper can guarantee the same reach and readership of our audience. Families seeking brides or grooms from Vokkaligas, Lingayaths, Brahmins, SC/ST, and other Karnataka-speaking families always choose Prajavani, as their potential matches, as well as their families, read the newspaper.
The content of the matrimonial ad must contain community, age, profession, educational qualifications, location, and a contact method. Families may also mention their expectations from the other side. The content must be written in a dignified manner, as the readers of Prajavani respond well to clear and respectable content.
Recommended format: Classified text. 35-50 words. 2026 rate: Approximately ₹45-₹60 per word (Bangalore edition). Practical tip: Sunday editions of the newspaper receive a substantially higher readership for matrimonial ads. Consider booking a Sunday edition if your advertisement deadline permits. For a higher readership across the state of Karnataka, a combo booking can also be considered.
This is the single most important category that makes Prajavani uniquely indispensable in Karnataka. When you notify a change in name through a Karnataka Government Gazette notification, publishing a public declaration in Prajavani is the standard – and in many cases, mandatory – second step. Karnataka Government departments, courts, universities, banks, and even the SSLC board have consistently accepted a Prajavani clipping as proof of public declaration along with the copy of the Gazette Notification.
While there may be some Government departments that may accept an English daily as proof for this second step, for Kannada-medium Government departments in rural Karnataka, and for many district courts across Karnataka, Prajavani is what they specifically request as proof for this second step in the name change process.
Your name change announcement must include your old name, new name, your complete address, and in most cases, a reference to the Gazette Notification number and date. We draft the exact wording in Kannada for you based on your Gazette Notification document.
Recommended Format: Classified text. Word count: 25-35 words. Rate for 2026: Approximately ₹50 to ₹65 per word.Practical Tip: Always retain the original published copy of the Prajavani Ad and not just a photocopy for your file. Courts and government departments demand the original clipping of the newspaper.
