“We tried online apps for two years for my daughter. Too many casual inquiries. The very first month in Narasimha Priya, we received three serious family calls. She is now married through a match found in the magazine.” — S. Raman, Chennai
“I live in New Jersey, USA. My parents placed my profile in their ‘NRI Special’ column. Within six weeks, I connected with a wonderful doctor from Hyderabad. The horoscopes matched perfectly.” — K. Srinivas (via email)
Parents and elders, who are often the decision-makers in arranged marriages, find it easier to flip through a printed magazine. They can mark pages, compare horoscopes side-by-side, and discuss matches over a cup of coffee without the glare of a smartphone screen.
We interviewed Mrs. Lakshmi Subramanian from Chennai, who placed an ad for her son in the Narasimha Priya Matrimonial Magazine last year. "My son was on three different apps for two years. We received over 100 interests, but only 10 were serious. In the magazine, we received only 22 calls, but 18 of them were from families who had already cross-checked our horoscope and family background. Within three months, we finalized the alliance."
Similarly, a software engineer from Hyderabad, Mr. Anirudh Varma, notes: "I was tired of swiping. My grandmother heard about this magazine from her kitty party group. Two weeks after my profile was published, I met my now-wife. Her parents had saved the magazine clipping for six months before calling us."
If you decide to list in Narasimha Priya, follow these insider tips: not a transaction.
✅ Be specific but inviting. Instead of "Brahmin boy," write "Vadama Iyer Brahmin boy, Katyayana Gothram, M.Sc. IT professional."
✅ Mention the horoscope clearly. Include Rasi and Nakshatra first—many readers scan only those details.
✅ Add a mobile number (with STD code) for faster responses.
✅ Renew your ad for three consecutive months—the first month builds awareness, the second generates responses.
✅ Place a photo display ad if looking for NRI matches—visual trust matters.
