॥ Rishta Guide ॥
From biodata to the wedding
Nine stages of a rishta, what to do at each one, and the tools on this site that help. Nothing to fill in, just read.
-
Stage 1 / 9
Get ready
A clear biodata is the first impression a family gets.
- Fill the biodata fully: education, work, parents' names and work, brothers and sisters.
- Ask elders for your gotra, nanihal gotra, avatank and native place.
- Add a clear, recent photo and the birth time for kundli milan.
-
Stage 2 / 9
Search
Look widely first, then narrow down.
- Use filters for age, city and education, but keep them a little wide at first.
- Check "Picked for you today" every morning.
- Save profiles you like and ask relatives' opinion with the family link.
-
Stage 3 / 9
First checks
Before the first call, three quiet checks.
- Gotra: the site shows on every profile whether the gotras clash.
- Kundli: see the guna milan, and show the report to your pandit ji.
- Family: ask relatives you trust about the other family.
-
Stage 4 / 9
Interest and the first talk
A short, warm first step.
- Send an interest with a short, polite note.
- When both accept, numbers open: the parents usually speak first.
- Talk about what matters: city after marriage, joint family, work, expectations.
-
Stage 5 / 9
First meeting
Meet as families, in a comfortable place.
- Choose a public place or a relative's home, and go with family.
- Propose the date from the chat; the site suggests shubh times for your city.
- Give the young people some time to talk on their own.
-
Stage 6 / 9
Rishta pakka
When both families are at ease, say yes together.
- Let the elders of both sides meet and agree.
- Talk openly about the scale of the wedding, the city and the timing.
- Mark the profile "Rishta fixed": it hides from search and opens the Badhai page.
-
Stage 7 / 9
Sagai and muhurat
The pandit sees both kundlis and gives the dates.
- Hold the sagai: tilak, shagun and the blessings of elders.
- See the auspicious vivah dates and fix the muhurat with your pandit.
-
Stage 8 / 9
Wedding preparation
Plan early, with a name against each task.
- Use the Badhai checklist from sagai to the wedding week, and keep the wedding budget on the site.
- Find samaj halwai, tent, photographer, mehndi and band in the directory.
- Send the Shubh Vivah card to relatives on WhatsApp.
-
Stage 9 / 9
After the wedding
Two small things that help others.
- Register the marriage: it is simple and protects both partners.
- Share your story, so other families of the samaj take heart.
At every stage
Stay safe
- Never pay anyone for a rishta. The site is free.
- Never share your OTP with anyone, the team never asks.
- First meetings with family, in a public place or a relative's home.
- Something feels wrong? Report the profile; the team acts quickly.
