Matrimonial in Dandenong & the South-East

The south-east has been home to Melbourne’s Indian families for decades, and Foster Street in Dandenong, Victoria’s Little India, is still where many go to shop for a wedding. Khandaan gives south-east families a private way to search for a match across Melbourne, family to family.

Dandenong & the South-East at a glance

  • Foster Street in Dandenong is Victoria’s first Indian cultural precinct, known as Little India.
  • Victorian Government community profiles note that many Indian-born Victorians live in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs.
  • Dandenong has hosted satellite events of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne at Harmony Square and the Drum Theatre.

  • Dandenong
  • Doveton

Profiles on Khandaan show the city only, never the suburb, so nobody’s address is ever shown.

Established families, new estates

Families who settled around Dandenong a generation ago now have children of marrying age, and many newer arrivals have moved further out to Clyde North and Cranbourne. A Khandaan profile connects both, without either side giving away more than a city and a short introduction until they are ready.

From the first meeting to Foster Street

When two families agree, the planning often starts in Dandenong: jewellers, clothing shops and sweet shops sit along one strip. Khandaan handles only the beginning, finding a family worth meeting and making a respectful first introduction.

Community events

    A free weekend at Fed Square run by Celebrate India, with a market, performances and fireworks over the Yarra.

Questions families in Dandenong & the South-East ask

Can I find families from Dandenong & the South-East on Khandaan?

Profiles show the city, never the suburb, so you will see families from across Melbourne rather than Dandenong & the South-East alone. That keeps every family’s address private. A family can mention where they are based in their own introduction if they choose, and once two families connect they can share as much as they like.

Is Khandaan free for families in Dandenong & the South-East?

Creating and listing a profile is free, with no credit card. To send introductions you pay $79 once, GST included, by PayID, and that unlocks unlimited introductions. There is no subscription. Matchmakers list for free.

Is there a matchmaker near Dandenong & the South-East?

Matchmakers on Khandaan are listed by city, so browse the matchmakers in Melbourne. Those who have had an ID check carry a badge, they list for free, and there are no extra fees for the families they work with.

How is Khandaan different from a dating app?

Khandaan is built for families, not for individuals swiping on strangers. A parent or relative can create the profile, introductions go from one family to another, and photos stay private until both families agree to connect.
