Pavitra Rishta, Shuruwat Naye Rishte Ki

Maheshwari Matrimony & MatchmakingGotra first, then everything else that matters.

Pavitra Rishta Matchmaking Services LLP is an offline marriage bureau in Kolkata that has arranged Maheshwari matches since 2006. The Maheshwari community has its roots in Rajasthan, and Kolkata has one of the largest Maheshwari populations outside that state, which is where our office has been from the start. In a Maheshwari match the gotra comes first, so your Relationship Manager notes your family's gotras at the first meeting and checks them against the community's 72 gotras before shortlisting. Vaishnav observance, vegetarian food and the standing of both families are looked at next. You see only a few suitable proposals, after the other family has been spoken to. Details are shared only with your permission, and we stay involved until both families decide.

Maheshwari families in Rajasthan, Mumbai, Hyderabad and abroad work with us from Kolkata by phone and video call. On the Premium and Elite packages, Saket Kejriwal visits your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does.

    Gotra is the first filter in every Maheshwari search. No proposal reaches you until it has been checked against your family's gotras.

    Kolkata has one of the largest Maheshwari communities outside Rajasthan, and our office has been in the city since 2006.

About the Maheshwari community

Maheshwaris are a Hindu trading community from Rajasthan, mostly of the Vaishnav tradition, now settled across India and abroad. Families are known for their business sense and for how closely they hold together as a community. These are the things a Maheshwari match has to respect.

How gotra is handled

At the first meeting your Relationship Manager writes down your family's gotras and the gotra rules your family follows. Every profile on the shortlist is checked against them before you see it, and the other family's gotra is confirmed when we speak to them. Families differ on how strictly they apply these rules, so tell us yours at the start and they become part of the search from day one.

Our only office is in Kolkata. Families in other cities and countries meet us on a video call, and stay in touch with their Relationship Manager by phone. On the Premium and Elite packages, Saket Kejriwal visits your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does.

Maheshwari matchmaking: questions families ask

Do you check gotra for Maheshwari matches?

Yes. Pavitra Rishta checks gotra in every Maheshwari search. Your Relationship Manager notes your family's gotras at the first meeting and checks each shortlisted profile against them, keeping the community's 72 gotras in mind. The other family's gotra is confirmed when we speak to them, before any proposal is shown to you.

What is the Maheshwari community?

The Maheshwari community is a Hindu trading community from Rajasthan, mostly following the Vaishnav tradition. It has 72 gotras, and families are known for their business sense and close community ties. Maheshwaris now live across India, with one of the largest communities outside Rajasthan in Kolkata, and in many NRI cities abroad.

We are a Maheshwari family outside Rajasthan. Can you help?

Yes. Pavitra Rishta works from its office in Kolkata, which has one of the largest Maheshwari communities outside Rajasthan, and serves Maheshwari families in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Indore and other cities. The first meeting is at our Kolkata office or on a video call. On the Premium and Elite packages, Saket Kejriwal visits your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does. Your Relationship Manager keeps you updated by phone.

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

Yes. Pavitra Rishta matches Maheshwari 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. Gotra is checked in exactly the same way as for families in India, and the first meeting is held on video call.

How is a marriage bureau different from a Maheshwari matrimony site?

A matrimony site shows you profiles and leaves the checking to you, including gotra. At Pavitra Rishta, a Relationship Manager meets your family, checks gotra and family background, and speaks to the other family before you see anything. You receive a few suitable proposals and never a bulk list, and we arrange and follow up the family meetings.

How long is Pavitra Rishta membership valid?

Membership at Pavitra Rishta is valid for 12 months from the date of registration, on every package, and every package includes a dedicated Relationship Manager. During that year your Relationship Manager keeps introducing suitable Maheshwari proposals and stays involved until both families decide. Fees are non-refundable, so we suggest you speak to our team in detail before registering.
