A roka is usually the first time both families sit together as future relatives. It is often fixed within days of the rishta being agreed, held at the girl’s or boy’s home, and kept to the people who would be hurt not to be told: grandparents, chachas and mamas, a few close family friends. The boy’s side brings shagun, sweets and dry fruits, the elders exchange blessings, and the evening ends with a family dinner. In Punjabi and Sindhi homes there may be a chunni ceremony, and Sikh families often begin with an ardas.
Because the notice is so short, a printed card is rarely possible, and a plain text message can feel too casual for a day this important. This free invite page gives the roka a proper invitation: the shagun time and dinner on one link, a Google Maps button for relatives coming from across the city, and an RSVP that tells you how many people each family is bringing. Send a personal link to each household so the page opens with their name, and switch between Hindi and English with one tap for the elders.
