Sahi Rishta, Sahi Jeevan

Kundali milan on every proposal, before you meet

What we are

Not another matrimonial portal.

On a large matrimonial site, people write their own profiles and software decides who you see. Here, one person — who families in this valley already trust with their weddings — does the searching, the verifying and the matching himself.

In one paragraph

Sharma Rishte is a personally verified matrimonial service based at Kallu Di Hatti, Bypass Chowk, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. It is run by Pandit Sahil Sharma, a practising temple priest, who records every profile himself, performs the kundali milan, verifies family background through local contacts, and introduces two families only after both sides agree. Registration is a one-time ₹1,100, and no profile is ever published online.

  • Verified in person

    No profile enters the register until Sharma Ji has spoken with the family himself.

  • Kundali read by a pandit

    Guna milan and dosh analysis done by a practising temple priest, not a calculator.

  • Your details stay private

    Photographs and phone numbers are never published online or sold to anyone.

  • One person, start to finish

    The same voice on the phone from your first call to the wedding mandap.

The difference

How it works

Five steps, one phone number

No app to download, no password to remember. Most families finish step one and two in a single visit to the office.
  1. 01

    Day 1

    You call or visit

    Speak to Sharma Ji directly on the phone, on WhatsApp, or at the office in Palampur. Tell him about your son or daughter in your own words — there is no form to wrestle with.

  2. 02

    Day 1 – 2

    Profile and kundali recorded

    Education, work, family background, community, expectations, and the birth details for the kundali. Registration is completed at ₹1,100, and the profile enters the active search.

  3. 03

    Ongoing

    Sharma Ji searches personally

    Every proposal is checked by hand against his own register and his network of families, temples and pandits across the Kangra valley. Nothing is auto-suggested.

  4. 04

    Before introduction

    Kundali milan before you meet

    Ashtakoot Guna Milan, Manglik, Nadi and Bhakoot are read first. You are told the score and what it means in plain language — before anyone's time is spent.

  5. 05

    When both sides agree

    Families are introduced

    Contact is shared only after both families say yes. Sharma Ji stays available through the meetings, and can perform the vivah sanskar itself if you wish.

Kundali milan

36 gunas, read by hand — and explained to you

Any website can print a guna score. Very few can tell you what a failed Bhakoot actually means for two families, or when a Nadi dosh stands cancelled. Sharma Ji reads both charts himself and tells you honestly what he sees — including when he thinks a match should not go ahead.
  • Ashtakoot Guna Milan across all eight kootas
  • Manglik dosh position, severity and cancellations
  • Nadi and Bhakoot dosh, with the exceptions checked properly
  • Dasha periods of both charts, so timing is realistic

Ashtakoot Guna Milan

The 36 gunas, and what each one weighs

Eight kootas, 36 points in total. Nadi alone carries 8 — which is why a Nadi dosh is taken so seriously.

  • Varna वर्ण

    1 / 8

    Spiritual compatibility and balance of ego between the couple.

  • Vashya वश्य

    2 / 8

    Mutual influence — who naturally gives way to whom.

  • Tara तारा

    3 / 8

    Health, fortune and general well-being after marriage.

  • Yoni योनि

    4 / 8

    Physical and intimate compatibility between husband and wife.

  • Graha Maitri ग्रह मैत्री

    5 / 8

    Mental friendship — how well two minds understand each other.

  • Gana गण

    6 / 8

    Temperament and behaviour: Dev, Manushya or Rakshas nature.

  • Bhakoot भकूट

    7 / 8

    Family welfare, prosperity and emotional attachment.

  • Nadi नाड़ी

    8 / 8

    Health of the couple and of children — given the highest weight.

Questions families ask

Straight answers, before you call

What is Sharma Rishte?

Sharma Rishte is a personally verified matrimonial service based at Kallu Di Hatti, Bypass Chowk, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. It is run by Pandit Sahil Sharma, a practising temple priest, who records every profile himself, matches kundalis by hand, and introduces families only after both sides agree. It is not an online portal with self-created profiles.

How is this different from a matrimonial website like Shaadi.com or Jeevansathi?

On a large portal you create your own profile and an algorithm ranks matches for you, with no one verifying what is written. At Sharma Rishte, Pandit Sahil Sharma meets or speaks to each family himself, records the profile, checks the background through local contacts, performs the kundali milan personally, and only then suggests a match. You deal with one person throughout instead of a call centre.

How much does it cost to register with Sharma Rishte?

Registration is a one-time fee of ₹1,100. That covers the sitting with Sharma Ji, your profile and kundali being recorded, and your requirement entering the active search. A completion amount is discussed and mutually agreed only after a rishta is finalised — nothing more is taken upfront.

Do I need to create an online profile?

No. There is no login, no dashboard and no profile for you to build. You speak to Sharma Ji on the phone, on WhatsApp or at the office in Palampur, and he records everything himself. This is deliberate — most of the families we work with are parents who would rather talk than type.

How many gunas out of 36 are needed for marriage?

Traditionally 18 out of 36 gunas is the minimum for a match to be considered. 18 to 24 is treated as acceptable, 25 to 32 as very good, and 33 to 36 as excellent and quite rare. A score below 18 is normally not taken forward without a specific reason. However, the total alone is not the full picture — Nadi, Bhakoot and Manglik positions are read separately.

Will my daughter's or son's photograph be put online?

Never. Photographs, phone numbers and birth details are kept in Sharma Ji's own register and shared only with a family that has been shortlisted, and only after you have agreed. Nothing is published on this website or sold to anyone.
