+A modern matrimonial web application built with React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS.
 
-Currently, two official plugins are available:
+## Live Application
+- [Live Site](https://www.thirukalyanam.amrithaa.net/)
 
-- [@vitejs/plugin-react](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react) uses [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) (or [oxc](https://oxc.rs) when used in [rolldown-vite](https://vite.dev/guide/rolldown)) for Fast Refresh
-- [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react-swc) uses [SWC](https://swc.rs/) for Fast Refresh
+## Features
+- Multi-step Registration Form (Personal, Educational, Family, Lifestyle, Partner Preferences)
+- User Dashboard
+- Real-time Chat (WebSocket)
+- Profile Filtering and Matching
+- Notification System
 
-## React Compiler
+## Tech Stack
