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.
Sydney and beyond
Many Sydney families are open to a match in Canberra or Melbourne, or willing for one partner to relocate after the nikah, vivah or anand karaj. You can browse every Australian city from the same account, so widening the search later costs nothing extra.
Desi Sydney: a local guide for families
Where families live, shop for a wedding and come together in Sydney.
Where families live
- Harris Park
- Parramatta
- Westmead
- Wentworthville
- Blacktown
- Schofields
- The Ponds
- Kellyville
- Edmondson Park
- Liverpool
- Lakemba
- Auburn
The City of Parramatta has the largest Indian and South Asian population of any council area in Australia, and the north-west and south-west growth areas have grown quickly. Lakemba, Auburn and the Canterbury-Bankstown area are home to many long-established South Asian Muslim families.
Profiles on Khandaan show the city only, never the suburb.
Community events
Diwali in Parramatta · October or November
The City of Parramatta’s Diwali celebrations, with a mela, food stalls, performances and fireworks, plus a home-lights competition in the week before.
Australian Sikh Games · Easter weekend
A sports and cultural carnival held every Easter, moving between cities. Local gurdwaras serve langar, and whole families travel for it.
Places of worship
- Sri Venkateswara TempleHelensburgh
- Gurdwara Sahib GlenwoodGlenwood
- Lakemba MosqueLakemba
A few long-established ones, not a full list. Many families find a match through their own masjid, mandir or gurdwara as well.
Wedding shopping and venues
Harris Park, named Sydney’s Little India in 2023, is where many families go for wedding sweets, jewellery and outfits, especially along Wigram Street. Large South Asian weddings are commonly held at function centres across Western and South-Western Sydney.

Questions families ask
Is Khandaan free for Punjabi families in Sydney?
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 Sydney 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 in Sydney?
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.
Can I find a match outside Sydney?
Yes. Profiles are searchable by city across Australia from one account, so you can start with Sydney and widen the search whenever your family is ready.
