Features
Everything you can do on Samanvaya
A plain guide to every feature, what it does, and whether it is free. Samanvaya is for adults aged 18 and over who are looking for marriage. Nothing here is public, and a person reviews every profile.
A profile people can trust
Real people, checked, in their own words.
Guided profile builder
FreeStep by step: your background, family, work, faith, lifestyle and what you want. You can build one for yourself, or help an adult family member who has agreed.
ID check
FreeShow a government ID and take a selfie on our partner’s secure page. We never see your document or pictures, only the result. Your profile then shows “ID verified”.
Team review
FreeA person on our team reads every profile and looks at every photo before anyone else can see them.
Job and education badges
FreeProve a work or school email address with a one-time code. Your profile shows a badge with the website name, never your email.
Selfie check and references
FreeSend a selfie for our team to compare with your photos, or ask someone who knows you to confirm your profile.
Voice intro
FreeA spoken hello of up to 30 seconds. Our team listens first, then only members you are connected to can play it.
Bucket list
FreeChoose up to ten things you hope to do in life. Dreams you share with a connection are highlighted.
Dowry-free pledge
FreeAn optional promise, shown as a small badge. Other members can filter for it, and the team can remove it after a report.
Photo protection
FreeOur team can see when the same picture is on more than one profile, and can search the internet for a suspicious photo. Photos also lose hidden location data when stored.
Finding the right people
Matches you can understand, and ways to browse that suit you.

Mystery Room
FreeMeet blind. Two ID-verified members are paired under made-up names and answer five simple questions. Each chooses privately whether to reveal. Only if both say yes are you connected.
Blind Sunday
