Rishta matchmaking, done the way it used to be — properly organised
Somebody who knows both families, has read both kundalis, and is willing to be accountable for putting them in a room together.
How does the matchmaking work?
You describe what your family is looking for and Pandit Sahil Sharma records the profile, the family details and the birth details himself. Registration is a one-time ₹1,100. He then searches his own register and his network of families, pandits and temples across the Kangra valley by hand. Every proposal is background-checked and kundali-matched before it reaches you, and contact details are exchanged only once both families have agreed.
What a match is built on
Six things checked before a proposal reaches you
Community and family
Community, gotra, native place and family standing — recorded properly so that a proposal never has to be withdrawn later for a reason that was known from the start.
Education and work
What each side has studied, where they work, whether a posting or transfer is likely, and whether they intend to settle in Himachal or outside.
Kundali compatibility
Full Ashtakoot Guna Milan with Manglik, Nadi and Bhakoot checked, before anyone is introduced.
Living arrangements
Joint family or separate, care of elderly parents, and what each household expects day to day. The most common cause of a match failing after the engagement.
Expectations that are rarely written down
Whether the wife will continue working, how festivals are observed, dietary practice, and the things a family only mentions if asked directly.
Temperament
Sharma Ji has met both families. That judgement is not something a filter on a website can reproduce.
The process
From your first call to the introduction
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
