Classic jaal designs, peacocks, and floral motifs. My traditional Indian patterns are all about that rich, deep stain using 100% natural, safe henna.

This architectural design features beautiful jharokha (window) motifs on the palms, with lotus flowers blooming at the top. The arms are covered in a dense, symmetrical pattern.

A bold floral design that stands out. Large, shaded flowers at the top of the arms flow into a mix of modern and traditional patterns, including delicate leaf motifs and jaal work.

About Traditional Indian Patterns

I don't just trace patterns; I focus on the final stain. Because I mix my own natural henna with lavender oil and use a lemon-sugar sealant, you get that deep, rich colour that lasts long after the celebration. When you book, we can decide between dense bharwa (full-filled) styles or lighter, modern traditional bands depending on how much time you have.
