Every swirl and every god or goddess I draw comes with a bit of my own devotion, especially for big occasions. ### Baby Showers & Mom-to-Be Moments I love adding personal touches for soon-to-be moms - maybe a portrait, tiny baby shoes, or playful details like “Boy or Girl?” Sometimes families want a little Yashoda-Krishna scene for blessings. That’s the kind of stuff I enjoy working on. I try to make every baby shower design different and meaningful. ### Engagements & Love Stories If you want your engagement mehandi to actually say something about you, I’m all for it. I’ve done couple portraits, peacocks, even matched the bride’s lehenga theme once (that pichwai-cow combo was tricky but fun!). Engagement story mehandi is something I really get a kick out of. ### Festivals & Home Service Festivals like Karwa Chauth are a big deal in Panchkula and Chandigarh, and I bring my team for home visits just for this. Expect couple designs, moon scenes, and all that romantic stuff. Festival inspired mehndi patterns or requests for Radha-Krishna, Shiva-Parvati, or “Jai Shree Ram” - I’m always game. My only goal? That you look at your hands and feel like, haan, yeh mera din hai (yeah, this is my day). ## Highlights Browse through Anupama's Mehandi's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/anupama_upadhya/festive-special-occasion-mehandi/featured) - ![This design was a special joy to create for a 25th anniversary.
