Shivalli Swayamvara Samavesha, an event from STAVIP(R) association.


Marriages are made in heaven!

We all have come across this famous saying at least once in our lifetime. However, just as how we have to act in order to acquire, marriages too take a meticulous amount of consideration, planning, and what not. The quote, 'The first step is always the hardest', holds good for marriages too, with the first step being finding a suitable partner.

Bearing in mind the exigence of this aspect and with the humble desire of easing the process for the members of our Shivalli community, STAVIP(R) came up with this idea to create a not so complicated and conducive matrimonial platform for marriage aspirants in our community.

Event Invite
An event of this significance requires a lot of planning and arrangements. When the idea was put forward before the members of STAVIP(R), we received a lot of encouragement and suggestions that bolstered our intent. After sufficient discussion, the date was chosen to be Sunday, the 20th of January, 2019, to ensure convenience to all those desirous of participating. 











The venue chosen was Hotel Ajantha Trinity Inn, MG Road, Bangalore. Volunteers for the event, along with the organizers, gathered at the venue on the previous day of the event. All necessary arrangements were made and discussions were held.

The sun set on the 19th and rose the following day; the big day. The STAVIP(R) team gathered on time, once again checking and verifying all necessary arrangements.

                     The event promptly began on time, starting with a formal stage function. The special guest for the event was Dr. K. Nagaraja Nakshatri, eminent astrologer and orator. Also present on stage were Sri. Ananth Raj Padubidri, president of STAVIP(R), along with Sri. Prathik Bhat, secretary of STAVIP(R). After invoking the blessings of the almighty, the program was formally inaugurated by lighting of the lamp, followed by a few enlightening words by the personalities on the dais.


The Swayamvara program began and the participants were allotted token numbers to either register if unregistered or to view marriage profiles of prospective brides/grooms. This ensured a systematic and organized experience for all the participants.

Participant registration in progress.



Each participant was then provided with an updated list of marriage profiles of brides/grooms, helping them find suitable alliances. Horoscope matching facility at no cost was also extended to those wishing to check horoscope compatibility with any preferred profile of their liking.

The event concluded at the scheduled time, with no infelicitous occurrences, and a lot of happy and satisfied faces. 

Although an event of this nature was a first for us, it was a huge success owing to the contribution from a lot of people. First and foremost, Sri. P.S. Bagilthaya for the location, Ajantha Hotel, M G Road, Bangalore, that was very well defined for our event 'Shivalli Swayamvara Samavesha', conducted by Shivalli Tulu Antarastriya VIpra Parivara, STAVIP(R).

Thanks must also go to Mr. Ravindra and team for providing  all the necessary arrangements on the spot, Sri. Gopalakrishna Kunjathaya for his continued support, Sri. Krishna Upadhyaya, star of the day who provided his encouragement, support and guidance throughout the event, and Sri. Ananth Raj Padubidri, president of our association, and Sri. Prathik Bhat, secretary of our association.
Special thanks to Dr. K Nagaraj Nakshatri for his astrological assistance as well as his guidance for the event.
