Shaadi.com is one of the largest matrimonial web sites. It is better suited for Indians, wherever they may be. Members are accepted from all countries, however.
It is very well publicised offline and online. This has resulted in a very large membership base.
Shaadi.com offers both free and paid membership. You can register and create your profile and start searching for your soul mate. You can initiate contact with other members of Shaadi.com without paying for a membership.
You can add your snaps and even video to your profile. You can choose to password protect your snap or make it visible only to those who interest you. It is much better if your snap is visible to everyone. How a person looks does play some role in the choice of partner. It is better to put your cards on the table than play hide and seek. Also having a snap boosts the response rate many times over, irrespective of how you look.
The catch with Shaadi.com is that you can't initiate a mail to another member unless you're a member yourself. This makes most people sign up for memberships. However you can reply to any mail you receive. So if you do receive mail from a paid member you can always reply.
Shaadi.com has a very effective search feature. You can search using many parameters. You can also save your searches.
You can find people who're looking for someone like you in terms of profile. So if you're male, 5'9'', Punjabi, fair and a teetotaller, you can draw up a list of girls who're looking for someone like that.
You can have Shaadi.com notify you, via email of new sign ups that meet your criterion of a prospective partner.
You can use a filter to prevent people who do not meet your criterion, from initiating contact. So if you're always getting feelers from people outside your community, you can put a stop to that. A time saver for sure!
Shaadi.com also has a bookmarks feature, where contacts can be added. Given its large user base and host of features, we recommend Shaadi.com. Go here to Sign up
