Bhava - Vedic matchmaking. One daily intro. Family included.

Find your cosmic match. Bhava uses ancient Vedic astrology (Ashta Kuta) to find deeply compatible connections.Bhava is a Vedic matrimonial app with a twist: one curated introduction a day, scored across the 36 gunas of Ashtakoota Milan — and up to 4 family members can join with their own accounts to weigh in. No swiping, no endless feeds. Just a daily yes-or-no, together.

Hey Product Hunters, I built Bhava because the modern matrimonial experience felt broken from both directions: endless swiping that wears you down, and traditional "family-arranged" platforms that cut you out of the loop entirely. Bhava is the middle path: - One curated introduction every morning, not a feed. You either move forward or you don't, and you wake up to a new one tomorrow. - Every match is scored via Ashtakoota Milan — the eight-fold Vedic compatibility framework, 36 gunas total. So you start with a real signal, not a photo. - Up to 4 family members can join with their own accounts. They see the same candidates, can leave notes, and forward them to relatives over WhatsApp — without exposing the candidate's surname or exact birth details. The goal was to bring back what worked about traditional matchmaking (depth, family judgment, slow pace) without the parts that didn't (no agency, no privacy). Live on iOS today. Android is in the works and should land in the next few weeks. Would love feedback on three things in particular: 1. Does the Ashtakoota scoring feel approachable if you're new to Vedic astrology? 2. The family-accounts model — does it land for you, or read as surveillance? 3. Anything that feels missing for your culture or situation? I'll be here all day answering questions. Thanks for taking a look. — Himanshu
