Frequently Asked Questions

VaidikVivah is a Hindu matrimony platform built specifically for families who want Vedic Kundli matching, Gotra compatibility, and Manglik analysis to be part of every match — not a paid add-on. It serves Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, and other Dharmic communities across India and the Indian diaspora.

VaidikVivah is for Hindu families, parents, and individuals from any Dharmic tradition who are looking for a life partner through the traditional arranged marriage process. The platform supports communities across all four Varnas, 400+ sub-communities, and diaspora profiles from India, USA, UK, UAE, Canada, and Australia.

Most matrimony sites treat Kundli matching as a checkbox feature — a basic sun sign match with no explanation. VaidikVivah provides a full 36-point Ashtakuta Guna Milan report, Manglik Dosha analysis with severity and cancellation rules, Gotra matching, Nakshatra compatibility, and a Vimshottari Dasha report — all included free with every match. The platform is also family-first: parents can manage profiles, Gotra is visible before expressing interest, and all contact details are hidden until mutual consent.

Registration and browsing are free. The free plan lets you create a detailed profile, browse all listed profiles, and run Kundli compatibility reports. Paid plans (Gold and Platinum) unlock contact details, clear photos, daily horoscope, and premium features like masked calling and assisted matchmaking. See the Pricing page for current plan details.

Yes. While the platform is rooted in Vedic traditions, it also supports Jain, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, and Jewish communities. Muslim and Christian matrimony features are also available for interfaith families. Community-specific filters let each family search within their own tradition.

Click "Register Free" on the home page. You will need to provide a name, email, phone number (for OTP verification), and basic profile details including date of birth, city, community, and Kundli information (Rashi, Nakshatra, Gotra if known). The profile goes through admin review before it becomes visible to other members.

Yes. Many families on VaidikVivah are parent-managed, especially during the initial search and shortlisting phase. You can register and maintain the profile on behalf of your son or daughter. The profile can later be transitioned to the person themselves once a shortlist is ready.

To generate a full Kundli compatibility report, you need date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. If the time of birth is not known, the system can still calculate Rashi (Moon sign) and Nakshatra from the date, but the Ascendant-based analysis will be limited. Gotra and Kuldevi can also be added to the profile for traditional family checks.

Phone OTP verification is instant. Admin review of your full profile typically takes 24–48 hours. You will receive an email notification once your profile is approved and visible to other members.

Yes, photos are hidden from all browsing views by default. Your photo is only revealed to members who have accepted your mutual interest. This is a privacy-first feature for families who prefer a traditional introduction before sharing personal photographs.

The Verified Badge means the profile has passed phone OTP verification and admin review. Platinum members can additionally submit a Government ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport) for a stronger "ID Verified" badge. This is used only for verification and is never displayed to other members.

Kundli matching (also called Kundali Milan or Janam Kundli matching) is the Vedic Jyotish method of checking compatibility between two birth charts before marriage. The most common system is Ashtakuta Guna Milan, which evaluates 8 different aspects of compatibility (Kootas) and scores them out of 36 points. A score of 18 or above is generally considered acceptable for marriage.

Ashtakuta (meaning "eight tests") is the standard North Indian Kundli matching system. The eight Kootas are: Varna (1 pt), Vashya (2 pts), Tara (3 pts), Yoni (4 pts), Graha Maitri (5 pts), Gana (6 pts), Bhakoot (7 pts), and Nadi (8 pts). Together they total 36 points. VaidikVivah calculates all eight Kootas and explains each score in plain language.

The free Kundli report includes: the full 36-point Ashtakuta score with per-Koota breakdown, Manglik Dosha analysis (which house, severity level, applicable cancellation rules), Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot Dosha flags with cancellation analysis, Gotra compatibility check, Vimshottari Dasha period status for both partners, and a sharable report format for family pandit review.

Nadi Dosha occurs when both partners have the same Nadi (Adi, Madhya, or Antya). It carries the highest weight in Guna Milan (8 points). Classical texts note Nadi Dosha but also describe cancellation rules: same Nakshatra, same Rasi, or the same Nakshatra lord can neutralise the Dosha. VaidikVivah shows which cancellation rules apply to your specific combination, so your pandit can assess whether Dosha is effectively neutralised.

Manglik Dosha occurs when Mars is in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the birth chart. The 7th and 8th house positions are considered stronger; 4th and 12th are milder. Roughly 25–40% of people have some form of Manglik Dosha. Multiple cancellation rules exist — if Mars is in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio), exaltation sign (Capricorn), or aspected by Jupiter, the Dosha is mitigated. VaidikVivah shows the severity level and applicable cancellation rules.

Not necessarily. The "same Manglik pairing" rule applies specifically when the Dosha is strong (7th or 8th house Mars) and no cancellation rules apply. If the Dosha is mild (4th or 12th house) or cancellation applies, the strict same-Manglik requirement may not apply at all. A qualified Jyotishi should assess the full chart before a decision is made.

Gotra is the patrilineal lineage traced through a common male ancestor, typically an ancient Vedic sage (Rishi). In Hindu tradition — especially among Brahmin, Rajput, Kshatriya, and many other communities — marriage within the same Gotra is prohibited (same-Gotra marriage is considered equivalent to sibling marriage in classical Dharmashastra). VaidikVivah makes Gotra visible on every profile and flags same-Gotra pairs in the Kundli report.

North and Central Indian families typically use the Ashtakuta (8-Koota) system described above. South Indian families — Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam communities — traditionally use Nakshatra Porutham (also called Dasa Porutham in Tamil tradition), which checks 10 separate compatibility parameters. Tamil families consider Rajju Porutham (longevity) and Vedhai Porutham (conflict) as the most critical. VaidikVivah supports both systems.

Shubh Muhurat refers to auspicious timing for Hindu marriage ceremonies, calculated from the Panchang (Hindu almanac). Auspicious marriage periods typically align with Uttarayana (northern solstice), specific Nakshatras, and are outside Shradh, Adhik Mas (leap month), and other inauspicious periods. VaidikVivah's Muhurat tool shows auspicious marriage dates for the current and upcoming year based on classical Jyotish calculations.

Use the Browse page to filter profiles by community (sect), city, Rashi, Nakshatra, Gana, Nadi, Varna, age range, height, education, and marital status. You can combine multiple filters. Community-specific landing pages (e.g., /community/brahmin-matrimony) also provide a curated starting point for specific communities.

Yes. Each profile displays the Rashi (Moon sign), Nakshatra, Gana, Nadi, and Gotra publicly so you can do an initial traditional check before running a full Kundli report. The complete 36-point Kundli comparison is accessible via the Kundli tool once you have both partners' birth details.

When you find a profile you're interested in, you send an "Interest." The other family receives a notification. If they also express interest, it becomes a mutual match and both families' contact details (phone/email) are revealed. No contact information is shared without mutual consent.

VaidikVivah's AI compatibility engine calculates an extended match score for each pair using Vedic parameters beyond the standard Guna Milan — including Dasha compatibility, Navamsa chart analysis, and yogas. The AI score appears as a percentage on profile cards for Gold and Platinum members to help prioritise the most astrologically compatible matches.

The free plan lets you create a full profile (including Kundli details), browse all profiles on the platform, see Rashi and Nakshatra details, run basic Kundli compatibility reports, and send a limited number of interests per day. Photos are visible only in blurred form, and contact details are not accessible on the free plan.

Gold plan (monthly subscription) unlocks: unlimited interests, clear profile photos, contact details after mutual interest, full Kundli report with PDF, weekly personalised Vedic Rashi horoscope email, priority listing in search results, and "Who Viewed My Profile" feature.

Platinum (Assisted Vedic Matchmaking) includes everything in Gold, plus: a dedicated Relationship Manager who personally shortlists matches for you, masked calling for privacy before sharing a personal number, daily personalised Rashi horoscope, weekly shortlisted match recommendations, family background verification assistance, Kundli pre-screening, and Shubh Muhurat guidance as an add-on.

Government ID submitted for verification is stored encrypted and is only visible to admins for verification purposes — never to other users.

Masked calling (available on the Platinum plan) lets you speak with a match by phone without revealing your real phone number. Both parties hear their own ring from the VaidikVivah system, and the actual phone numbers remain hidden throughout the call. This is designed for the initial family-to-family phone introduction before personal numbers are shared.
