Roka
The first formal ceremony of a North Indian match: both families agree, and the search stops.
Roka ("stopped") marks the point at which the families commit and stop looking at other matches. It is usually a small gathering at the bride's home with an exchange of gifts and sweets, and it comes before the engagement.
It is the moment a match on a platform becomes a match in the world, and the point after which most families expect profiles to be taken down.
