## About Bridal & Groom Mehandi

### Why I Do Mehandi

Mehandi for me is not just kaam (work), it’s a shauk (passion) and a blessing. Being Sanatani, I put my soul into every design - aiming for something divine with each stroke. Yeh mehandi hai, it’s how I share stories of love and new beginnings straight on your skin.

### Personalised Stories in Every Design

I’m all about personalised bridal mehandi design. I love weaving your story into the patterns - whether it’s how you two met, your favourite movie moments, or little nods to your pets and passions. Got a city that means something to you both? I’ll sketch the skyline. Your lehenga motifs or a Pichwai art theme? Done. If your wedding is a mix of cultures, I create cultural fusion wedding mehandi so both sides feel included.

### Groom’s Mehandi Matters

Mehandi isn’t just for brides. Grooms get their own special touch - from a simple minimalist design to a portrait of the bride or even a short letter in henna. Symbols like peacocks or elephants add that elegant vibe.

### Divine & Traditional Vibes

I often draw live-looking figures of Radhe-Krishna, Shiv-Gauri, Ram-Sita, and Shrinathji, plus classic motifs like elephants, palaces, and doli scenes. These designs bring that royal and auspicious feel.

### My Henna Promise

I make my own 100% natural henna for weddings - safe for your skin, no chemicals. Surat is home, but I travel for destination weddings too. Udaipur, Goa, wherever your story takes you, I bring my art along.

[Anupama's Mehandi](https://mytribe.in/anupama_upadhya)

### My story

Namaste, I’m Anupama - mehandi is my devotion and my art. Every design I make, you’ll spot Shrinathji, Radhe Krishna, Govinda - I feel their presence in my strokes. I love weaving stories in henna, be it a bride’s proposal dream or a couple’s journey. Struggles come, but for me and my brides, it’s always worth it. Navratri? I’m always at Garba! Teaching mehandi is pure joy, my students are my gems. For me, sab kuch madhuram hai (everything is sweet).

### My work

- **Bridal & Groom Mehandi, Destination Weddings**: I create customized bridal mehandi, elegant groom designs, and travel for destination weddings, including Karwa Chauth and anniversaries.
- **Storytelling Henna Art**: My mehandi tells your story - portraits, couple journeys, Shrinathji henna art, and Pichwai-inspired designs.
- **Professional Mehandi Workshops**: I teach advanced mehandi classes, helping aspiring artists become professionals. My workshops are hands-on and personal.
