A simple guide with pictures from the phone. Each picture has numbers on the buttons, and the steps below say what each one does.
Only a mobile number is needed. There is no password to remember.
Open "Register free" from the menu. Write the mobile number of the parent or the candidate, tick the box and press "Send OTP".
A 6-digit code comes on WhatsApp and by SMS at the same time. Type either one. If nothing arrives in a minute, press "Send by SMS".
Press "Login with OTP" and enter your number again. The same number always opens the same account.
Tip: Tick "Keep me logged in" on your own phone so you do not have to log in every time.
Twelve short questions, one at a time. It takes about two minutes.
The first question is whether the biodata is for a boy or a girl. Choose carefully: this decides which profiles you will see.
The samaj team checks every new biodata before families can see it. You get a WhatsApp message as soon as it is approved.
Tip: The mother's name, gotra and nanihal gotra matter to most families. Fill them in so the right families find you.
A complete profile with a clear photo gets many more responses.
The profile has nine parts. The bar shows which ones are done, and the circle shows how strong the profile is.
Add one main photo and up to five more. You decide who can see them clearly; everyone else sees them blurred.
Tip: Photos are shown only to logged-in members of the samaj, never to visitors or search engines.
Browse shows approved profiles of the other side: grooms for a bride's family and brides for a groom's family.
Narrow the list by age, city, education, gotra and more. Save a search you use often and the site will tell you about new matches.
Each card shows age, city, education, gotra and the guna score. A green tick means the gotras are different.
Tip: Every morning the site picks a few new profiles for you under "Chosen for you today".
When you like a profile, send an interest. The other family is told at once.
Read the full biodata, the family tree and the kundli match. The interest button stays at the bottom of the screen.
Tip: Phone numbers and links typed in a message are removed. Numbers are shared only after both families agree.
All interests are in one place, under "Interests" in the bottom bar.
When you accept, both families can see each other's contact number and start talking.
Tip: Reply within a few days, even if the answer is no. Families appreciate a quick reply.
After both families agree, you can message, call, video call and propose a meeting, all from one screen.
Messages are private between the two families. Two ticks show that your message was read.
Tip: For the first meeting choose a public place or a relative's home, and go with family.
Every profile already shows the guna score with your profile. You can also match any two kundlis yourself.
Write the date, time and place of birth of the boy and the girl, then press the button. You see the 36 gunas, the eight kootas and doshas.
Tip: The birth details you type here are not saved. Show the result to your pandit ji for the final word.
Everything about your account is under "Account settings" in the menu.
One login can hold the biodata of more than one child. Each profile has its own interests and messages.
Choose who sees your photos clearly and which families may send you an interest.
When the rishta is fixed, or you want a break, hide the profile. Nothing is deleted and you can show it again at any time.
Tip: Mother, father or the candidate can each log in from their own mobile: add them under "Family members who can log in".
Yes. Registration, browsing, interests, messages and kundli milan are all free for samaj families.
A new biodata is shown after the samaj team approves it. If some required details are missing, you get a WhatsApp message with a link to finish them.
Open My Profile, change it in Basic details, or write to us and the team will correct it.
Check WhatsApp and SMS both. Wait a minute and press "Send by SMS". Make sure the number is correct.
Yes. Add their mobile under "Family members who can log in" in Account settings.
You can hide it from Account settings. To delete it completely, write to us from the contact page.
