## About Mehandi Art Classes & Workshops

### Mehandi Is My Devotion

For me, mehandi is more than a skill – it’s my way of connecting with the divine and with people. Every design, every line has a story, an emotion, sometimes even a chhota (small) prayer. Teaching mehandi is my way of sharing this connection, so others can find their own style and maybe, their own calling.

### Classes for Beginners & Pros

- If you’re dreaming of becoming a mehandi artist, I’ll guide you from scratch. My Basic to Bridal Master Class is a complete seekhne ka safar (learning journey) – we start simple, then move to detailed bridal mehandi design course work.
- Already doing mehandi and want to level up? My advanced mehandi techniques class dives into the finer details and skills that set your work apart.

### Specialized Workshops

- My most popular: Mehandi portrait art workshop. Learn to create Krishna, Radha, or even your favourite celeb in mehandi, both online and in person.
- Love small details? I run miniature figure henna training – think tiny barat (wedding) scenes and baby shower designs that look alive.

### My Teaching Style & Locations

- You’ll see demos, then get your hands dirty – lots of practice, real feedback, and some laughs along the way.
- We learn together in Surat (Ghod dod) for full courses, Mumbai (Malad West) for workshops, or online for some sessions.

It’s a journey – thoda struggle hai, but it’s worth it when you see your art grow.
