Punjabi matrimony in Australia
Punjabi families in Australia have long found a rishta through relatives, the gurdwara or mandir, a trusted matchmaker, or a biodata passed from one phone to the next. Khandaan keeps the family at the centre of that search and takes away the part that worries parents most: a son’s or daughter’s photo and number travelling to people nobody knows.

One language, many families
Punjabi is one of the fastest-growing languages in Australia: at the 2021 Census about 239,000 people spoke it at home, up roughly 80% on 2016. Most are Sikh families, and many Hindu Punjabi families and Muslim families from Pakistani Punjab speak it too.
Every Khandaan profile states its religion up front, so you can see at a glance whether a family is Sikh, Hindu or Muslim. Anything more specific, like whether the household is Amritdhari, which part of Punjab the family comes from, or whether Punjabi is spoken at home, belongs in the family’s own introduction.
From biodata to roka, without the forwarding
A Punjabi rishta usually starts with a biodata and a phone call between elders, then a meeting at one family’s home. After that come the roka, the chunni or engagement, and the anand karaj, vivah or nikah. Khandaan only helps with the beginning: finding families worth meeting.
On Khandaan the biodata stays in one place. Photos are private until both families agree to connect, profiles show a first name and surname initial, never an address, and an introduction goes from one family to another instead of being forwarded around a group. If a group is still part of your family’s search, read our guide to matrimony WhatsApp groups before you share anything.

Questions families ask
Is Khandaan free for Punjabi families in Australia?
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.
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.
Are the profiles in Australia verified?
ID checks are optional. A member can send a photo of a government ID and a selfie, a Khandaan team member reviews them, and the photos are deleted once checked. Profiles that have passed carry a badge. It is a basic check, not a background check, so families should still make their own enquiries.
Can I use a matchmaker?
Yes. You can browse matchmakers who list on Khandaan, and those who have had an ID check carry a badge. Matchmakers list for free, and there are no extra fees for the families they work with.
Is Khandaan only for Sikh families?
No. Sikh, Hindu and Muslim Punjabi families all list on Khandaan, along with families from many other Indian and Pakistani communities. Each profile states its religion, and the family’s introduction can say more, such as language at home or where the family is from.
Can we find a Punjabi match living in Australia?
Yes. Khandaan lists families who live in Australia, by city, so you can search Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra or the Gold Coast from one free account.
