Bhava is a family-aware matrimonial app for people serious about marriage — and the families who love them. This isn't a dating app. There's no swipe stack. There's no infinite feed of strangers. There's no late-night casual energy. Bhava is built around one conviction: in our culture, marriage is a family decision. So we made the first matrimonial app where you and your family share the journey, without compromising either. TWO ACCOUNT TYPES, ONE APP When you open Bhava, the first screen asks: are you here for yourself, or for someone you love? If you're the one looking, you'll build your own profile and meet candidates one at a time. If you're a parent, sibling, or trusted family member helping someone, you'll get a separate curator role — your own login, your own view of their matches, your own notes. WHAT YOU GET AS A MEMBER • One curated introduction every morning. Wake up to a single person whose birth chart, family background, and marriage intent actually align with yours. Read their full profile, with intention. No swipe stack. • Ashtakoota Milan compatibility. The 36-guna eight-fold Vedic compatibility framework families have used for over a thousand years, computed precisely with Lahiri ayanamsa. One number on every profile — Strong match, Compatible, Rare excellence. • A full matrimonial profile. Gotra. Sampradaya. Family deity. Native place. Mother tongue. Marriage timeline. Wedding style. Citizenship. Every onboarding field your family will want to see, structured for a serious conversation. • Letter-first chat. When you both express interest, the conversation opens with a formal first letter. Free-form chat unlocks after that. Pacing built for marriage, not for entertainment. WHAT YOUR FAMILY GETS • A separate Family Hub. They see your matches, the compatibility scores, and a feed of what's happening. They can favorite, flag concerns, and bring candidates from their offline network into the app — the WhatsApp-biodata-from-aunty pipeline, finally structured. • A gentle nudge they can send. If part of your profile is unfilled, your family can send a one-tap prompt that lands in your Today tab. Family-mediated profile completion, done with consent. • Privacy by construction. Family cannot message anyone, pose as you, or see the contents of your conversations. They cannot reveal your identity. They participate as curators, not as proxies. BHAVA PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Upgrade to unlock more of the product: • See who has expressed interest in you before you decide. • Seven daily picks instead of one. • Advanced filters across religion, mother tongue, diet, marriage timeline. • Profile boost so your profile is seen by more compatible Members. • Undo a pass when you change your mind. Bhava Premium auto-renews weekly, monthly, or yearly. Pricing varies by region and is shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. WHAT BHAVA IS NOT • Not a dating app. No swipe gesture anywhere. No infinite feed. • Not a horoscope app. No daily readings, no zodiac descriptions, no fortune telling. Astrology in Bhava is compatibility math between two specific people — never consumable content for one. • Not for casual dating. Every signup explicitly confirms matrimonial intent. WHO BHAVA IS FOR If you're 26 to 32, your parents have started asking about marriage, your friends are getting engaged, and you've walked away from both Hinge and the traditional matrimonial portals because neither one fits — Bhava is built for you. Indian families, modern interface, family-rooted, marriage-intent. Bhava is free to download. Built by Sphnix, Inc.
