Each suggested match shows a transparent compatibility score from 0 to 100%: how well each of you fits the other's partner preferences across 10 weighted factors — religion, mother tongue, age, caste, marital status, education, height, diet, smoking and drinking. Suggestions are ordered by that score plus Porutham matches, accepted interests and recent activity. The exact rules are published on our How Our Matching Works page.

Filters narrow the pool by hard criteria such as community, religion, location and age. The compatibility score then shows how well each remaining profile fits your partner preferences — and how well you fit theirs — so you can see the strongest mutual fits first.

No. The two are shown separately. We compute the South Indian 10-Porutham match from birth details alongside the preference-based compatibility score, so families can evaluate matches on both modern and traditional criteria.

No. Matching uses published, rule-based scoring rather than a trained model. Photos, chat messages and contact details are never used for matching and are never sold or shared with third parties; photos are only sent to our moderation service for the safety check.

MangalyaMatrimony serves 50+ South Indian communities, including Telugu (Reddy, Kamma, Kapu, Velama, Brahmin, Naidu), Tamil (Iyer, Iyengar, Mudaliar, Vanniyar, Nadar), Kannada (Lingayat, Vokkaliga, Brahmin), and Malayalam (Nair, Ezhava, Syrian Christian) communities, as well as inter-community matches.

Yes. Telugu matrimony is one of our largest segments, with verified profiles across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and the Telugu diaspora in the US, UK, Australia, and the Gulf. You can filter by sub-caste, gotra, region, and mother tongue.

Yes. We have NRI profiles in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Singapore, UAE, and across Europe. Filters include country of residence, citizenship/visa status, and willingness to relocate, and video calls work across time zones.

Our most active South Indian cities are Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Coimbatore, Kochi, and Mysuru, along with strong NRI activity from the San Francisco Bay Area, New Jersey, London, and Dubai.

Telugu matrimony on MangalyaMatrimony works in three steps: create a free profile with your community, sub-caste, gotra, and Rasi/Nakshatra details; browse better-matched suggestions filtered by Telugu sub-community (Reddy, Kamma, Kapu, Velama, Brahmin, Naidu, Raju, and others); and connect through 1-1 video calls without sharing your phone number. Family-led profiles are common — parents can register on behalf of their son or daughter.

Turn on the "Verified profiles only" filter on MangalyaMatrimony to see only profiles with a verified government ID or employment record. You can additionally narrow by Telugu sub-caste, gotra, mother tongue (Telugu), home district in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana, education, and income. Verified profiles carry a trust badge, and every photo on the platform has passed AI screening for harmful content.

Yes. We have deep coverage of Telugu sub-communities including Reddy, Kamma, Kapu, Velama, Raju, Naidu, Balija, and Brahmin (Niyogi, Vaidiki, Smartha). Sub-caste, gotra, and rasi filters are first-class fields in search so families looking for a same-sub-caste alliance can find matches efficiently.

Yes. Tamil Brahmin matrimony — including Iyer (Vadama, Brahacharanam, Vathima), Iyengar (Vadakalai, Thenkalai), and other Smartha and Vaishnavite communities — is one of our active segments. You can filter by sub-sect, gotra, paksham, and Star/Rasi, and connect with verified profiles across Tamil Nadu and the Tamil diaspora in the US, UK, Singapore, and Australia.

Use the community filter and select Kannada plus your sub-community (Lingayat, Vokkaliga, Madhwa Brahmin, Smartha Brahmin, Havyaka, Kota, and others). MangalyaMatrimony has active Kannada profiles across Karnataka, especially Bangalore, Mysuru, Mangaluru, and Hubballi, and supports gotra-based and Rasi-based search for traditional alliance criteria.

Yes. We support all major Kerala communities — Nair, Ezhava, Namboothiri, Menon, Pillai, Christian (Syrian Catholic, Marthoma, Jacobite, Orthodox), and Muslim — with sub-community, district, and Star/Rasi filters. Kerala matrimony also includes a large NRI segment from the Gulf, US, and UK.

Guna Milan (Ashta-Koota) is the traditional Vedic system for checking marriage compatibility between two horoscopes. It scores eight factors — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi — for a maximum of 36 Gunas. MangalyaMatrimony uses the South Indian 10-Porutham system rather than Guna Milan: it derives each birth star from date of birth and shows the Porutham count on suggested matches.

A Guna Milan score of 18 or more out of 36 is traditionally considered acceptable for marriage, 24+ is considered very good, and 32+ is excellent. Below 18 is generally discouraged in traditional matching, though many families also consider Mangal Dosha, Nadi Dosha and broader compatibility rather than relying on Guna Milan alone.

No, a Kundali is not required to register or browse profiles. If you enter your date and time of birth, MangalyaMatrimony derives your birth star and computes the South Indian 10-Porutham match on suggested matches. Profiles without birth details still get a compatibility score; families seeking horoscope-matched alliances usually add this data.

Nakshatra matching compares the Janma Nakshatra (birth star) of the bride and groom. MangalyaMatrimony derives each birth star from date and time of birth and checks the 10 Poruthams — including Rajju and Vedha — flagging Rajju or Vedha dosha so families can consult their priest before considering a match.

Yes. Many users — particularly NRI, inter-community, and modern South Indian families — match on the preference-based compatibility score, education, lifestyle and family background without using horoscope matching. The Porutham count is shown separately, so you can simply ignore it.

MangalyaMatrimony focuses specifically on South Indian communities with deeper sub-caste, gotra, and regional coverage, AI-powered compatibility scoring on top of traditional filters, secure 1-1 video calls without sharing phone numbers, and AI-driven image screening to block fake and harmful content. Pan-India platforms cover a broader audience but typically offer less depth in South Indian community matching.
