I sketch these by hand, layering them into the intricate patterns while ensuring the 100% natural henna mixture guarantees a deep, dark stain for your wedding. Creating a love story mehandi is more than just drawing; it is about bringing your personal milestones to your hands. When you choose a portrait design, I work directly from your favorite photographs. Whether you want to capture the exact look of your wedding outfits, a scene from your proposal, or a religious symbol like Radha-Krishna or Shiva-Parvati, I ensure the line work is fine and realistic. Because these designs involve detailed sketching, they require a longer sitting time compared to standard patterns. I usually recommend this for brides who want a deep, traditional Rajasthani or Marwari look. As your lead artist, I personally handle the portrait sections to maintain the quality, while my team of senior artists can help with the background fillers to keep the process smooth and comfortable for you. We prioritize your safety and the result. My henna is 100% natural, freshly mixed, and free from chemicals. This is why I can offer a 100% colour guarantee. If you are worried about how a portrait will look on your hand, we can do a trial before the big day. We travel anywhere in Mumbai and across India, so whether you are getting married in a local banquet hall in Navi Mumbai or at a destination venue, my team and I will be there on time to create your vision. ## About Gaurav Mehandi I am Gaurav, and I have been turning love stories into mehandi art for 13 years. I take the moments that matter most to you—your varmala, your proposal, even your pet—and sketch them onto your palms with 100% natural henna. My team and I are ready to travel anywhere in India to make your wedding day beautiful.
