Pavitra Rishta, Shuruwat Naye Rishte Ki

Jain Matrimony & MatchmakingJain matches that respect how your family lives.

Pavitra Rishta Matchmaking Services LLP is an offline marriage bureau, based in Kolkata since 2006, that arranges matches for Jain families in India and abroad. We work with Digambar and Shwetambar families, including Murtipujak, Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi homes, and with Oswal, Porwal, Shrimal, Humad, Khandelwal and Agarwal Jain families. In a Jain match, food and religious practice matter as much as education and family background, so we ask about both at the first meeting. A Relationship Manager then shortlists from suitable profiles and speaks to the other family first. You see only the few proposals that fit, with biodata and photos. Nothing about your family is shared without your permission, and we stay involved until both families decide.

Jain families from Kolkata, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Mumbai and abroad work with us from our Kolkata office, in person, by phone and on video call.

  • Digambar and Shwetambar

    We work with both sects, and within Shwetambar with Murtipujak, Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi families. Your sect is the starting point of the search.

  • Food and observance first

    Strict vegetarianism is a given. Many Jain families also keep further food practices, so we ask about yours before shortlisting anyone.

  • No bulk profile sharing

    You will not receive a pile of biodatas. Your Relationship Manager shows you only the few families that fit.

Jain sects and sub-communities we work with

Most Jain families ask for a match within their own sect and sub-community, and that is where your search begins. Some families are open to a wider search. In that case we suggest a match across sub-communities only when both families agree to it.

Digambar Jain
One of the two major sects.
Shwetambar Jain
Including Murtipujak, Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi families.
Oswal Jain
Mostly in Rajasthan and the big metros.
Porwal Jain
Known for strong business ethics.
Shrimal Jain
Spread across Rajasthan, Gujarat and the major cities.
Humad Jain
A prominent community in Maharashtra.
Khandelwal Jain
Found across North India.
Agarwal Jain
One of the most widely spread Jain communities.

Food, observance and daily life

A Jain home runs on certain practices, and a new bahu or jamai has to be comfortable with them from the first day. Strict vegetarianism is assumed in every Jain search. Beyond that, practices differ from family to family, so we ask about yours at the first meeting and ask the other family the same questions.

This is what we check before a proposal is shown to you.

Ahimsa
A shared commitment to a non-violent, ethical way of living.
Food practices
Vegetarianism, and any further practices your family keeps.
Religious observance
Paryushana, samayik and the other practices each family follows.
Sect and sub-community
Still important to many families, even those open to a wider search.
Business values
Integrity and a similar approach to money and work.
Respect for elders
Both families should be at ease with each other's traditions.

How it works for Jain families

  1. First meeting

    We meet your family at our Kolkata office, or on a video call if you live elsewhere. On the Premium and Elite packages, Saket Kejriwal visits your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does. The conversation covers your sect, your food practices and religious observance along with education and family background.

  2. The shortlist

    Your Relationship Manager shortlists from suitable Jain profiles and speaks to the other family first, including about their practices. You see only the few that fit, with biodata and photos.

  3. Family meeting

    When both sides approve, we arrange the meeting between the families and follow up with both afterwards.

  4. Until a decision

    We keep introducing proposals and stay involved until both families decide.

Jain matchmaking: questions families ask

Do you find matches for Digambar and Shwetambar Jain families?

Yes. Pavitra Rishta works with Digambar Jain families and with Shwetambar families, including Murtipujak, Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi homes. Your sect is noted at the first meeting and the search starts within it. If your family is open to a match from the other sect, tell your Relationship Manager. A cross-sect proposal is shown only when both families have agreed to consider one.

Will you check that the other family follows the same Jain food practices?

Yes. Pavitra Rishta treats food and religious practice as a core part of every Jain search. Strict vegetarianism is assumed, and many families follow further practices that differ from home to home. Your Relationship Manager asks about yours at the first meeting and asks the other family the same questions before a proposal reaches you.

Which Jain sub-communities do you work with?

Pavitra Rishta works with Oswal, Porwal, Shrimal, Humad, Khandelwal and Agarwal Jain families, within both the Digambar and Shwetambar sects. If your sub-community is not on this list, call +91 93303 22220. We work with all Jain families, in Kolkata, across India and in the NRI community abroad.

Can you find a Jain match for our son or daughter living abroad?

Yes. Pavitra Rishta matches Jain NRIs in the USA, UK, UAE, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Germany and the rest of Europe. We can look for a family in India or for someone already settled abroad. The first meeting happens on video call, and the same questions about sect, food and observance are asked of every family.

Is a Jain matrimony website enough, or do we need a marriage bureau?

A matrimony website lets you search profiles on your own, and it cannot tell you how a family actually lives. Pavitra Rishta is an offline marriage bureau. Your Relationship Manager meets your family, speaks to the other family first about sect, food and observance, and shows you only the few suitable proposals that fit. Bulk profiles are never sent.

Will our family's details be kept private?

Yes. Pavitra Rishta never shares your biodata, photos or contact details with another family without your permission, at any stage. Profiles are shown one family at a time, and only after the Relationship Manager has spoken to both sides. This matters to many Jain business families, and it has been how we work since 2006.

Tell us about your Jain family

A Relationship Manager calls you back within 24 hours. Everything you share stays with us.
