A person read every profile here before it went live. Photos stay private until one of you accepts the other’s interest, and then you see each other’s. Your phone and email are never shown to anyone. Photos appear when she approves your request. Every interest you send carries a note you wrote, so make it count. Her contact details are never shown; she shares them if she wants to.
Victoria has the largest Sikh population of any Australian state, more than 91,000 people at the 2021 census, and most of them live in Greater Melbourne.
The north (Craigieburn, Wollert) and the west (Tarneit, Truganina, Point Cook) are the two big Punjabi corridors, with the south-east (Cranbourne, Officer, Pakenham) growing fastest.
The South Asian community in Melbourne is strongest in Craigieburn, Tarneit, Truganina, Point Cook, Cranbourne, Officer, Pakenham and Wollert, and the Khatri community gathers around the gurdwaras in Craigieburn, Blackburn, Keysborough, Tarneit and Officer. On Rishta you can search Melbourne alone, or widen it to the whole of Australia, or to Australia and New Zealand together.
Khatri families here are split between Sikh and Hindu households, often in the same extended family, and a match usually has to work for both. Rishta treats religion and community as separate fields for exactly that reason, so a Khatri Sikh and a Khatri Hindu can find each other without either having to misdescribe themselves.

How Rishta works for Khatri families in Melbourne
What a profile here covers for Khatri families: Khatri, or caste no bar · Sikh or Hindu · Vegetarian · Mother tongue · Citizen, PR or visa.
- Private by default, whoever you are
- Your photos are hidden until you say yes to a specific person: accept their interest, or approve their request, and you see each other’s. Men choose this too — privacy here is not a women-only feature. Not a paid upgrade, not a toggle you have to go looking for.
- You decide who can find you
- Visible to every approved member, only to people who match your preferences, or only to Rishta matchmakers. The default is preferences-only, and there are no public profile pages for anyone. Search engines never see a member.
- ID-checked, or invisible
- Everyone checks their ID before going live, and a person looks over every new profile the same day. Until then you cannot search and nobody can find you. Nobody appears just because they filled in a form.
- A real ID, a real face
- Photograph your passport or licence, then your face. Didit checks the document is genuine and that the live face matches it, and, if your profile has photos by then, that your main photo is the same person. It takes about two minutes and costs you nothing. We are told the result and the name, age and gender on the ID, never the photos of your document.
- A matchmaker, never from your city
- If you want a matchmaker, yours is never from your own city, so she will not run into you at a wedding. It is a paid service for women and men alike: an Icebreaker call is $39, and on Vichola ($1,199 for 3 months) she searches and approaches on your behalf. Searching and talking yourself is free for women.
Questions Khatri families in Melbourne ask us
Can I join in Melbourne?
Yes, today. Women join free. Men join with Search, $39 a month or $99 for 3 months. Everyone checks their ID before going live.
How is this different from Shaadi.com for Khatri families in Melbourne?
Three ways. Everyone checks their ID before going live, and a person looks over every new profile. Women decide who can find them, and their photos are hidden until they approve someone. And no phone number or email is ever displayed on a profile, at any membership level. There is a longer comparison at /rishta-vs-shaadi.
Do women pay?
Not to search, be found, add photos, send interests, message or call. That is free for women permanently, and men pay for the same things. A matchmaker working on your behalf is a separate paid service for everyone, because that is a person’s time.
Can my parents be involved?
Yes. Family can pay for a son’s membership, can see a Family View page you choose the contents of, and can speak to your matchmaker with your consent. What they can’t do is put a profile live for someone who hasn’t agreed to it: the person on the profile checks their own ID first.
Can I filter by community and mother tongue?
Yes. Mother tongue, religion, community (with “caste no bar” always available), diet, family origin and residency status are all filters, and any of them can be a must-have.
A note from the founder
I spent six months on a paid plan on the biggest matrimonial site in the world, searching honestly for someone to marry from here. I found roughly ten men for every woman, a paid plan that produced nothing, and a fake profile I could make in minutes.
Rishta is what I wished had existed: women free with nothing held back, photos hidden until she says yes, every profile ID-checked before it goes live, every interest written by hand, no phone numbers on the page, and a matchmaker who is never from your own town. I built it because I am looking too.
