Where do families in the North-East search for a match, with no independent platform?
No independent matrimony platform of scale exists in the North-East, and this page says so rather than pretending. Assam has AssameseMatrimony (the CommunityMatrimony pool) and the Asomiya Pratidin Sunday classifieds. In Arunachal, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura, families use Shaadi.com, BharatMatrimony or ChristianMatrimony plus church, tribal-body and family networks, which this research could not verify. Treat every listing here as a lead to check, not a vetted service.

City by city
A search in Pune looks nothing like a search in Kochi or Ludhiana. The dominant platform changes, the communities change, and the offline channels that families trust most are local: a samaj registry in one city, a diocesan office in another, a Sunday newspaper column in a third. The table lists, for each city, the communities you will meet most, where families there search online, and the community and offline channels worth knowing.
