We start by discussing the specific faces, moments, or symbols you want to include, then sketch a custom layout to ensure everything fits perfectly on your palm. It takes precision and time, so I usually recommend booking this premium service at least two weeks before your event. Our custom portrait service is about more than just henna application. We use triple-sifted, 100% natural henna to achieve the fine-line detail required for realistic portraits of couples, parents, or religious figures. Whether you want a wedding narrative, a baby shower theme with specific baby motifs, or a tribute to your heritage with intricate architectural patterns, my senior team and I treat your hand as a dedicated canvas. We handle everything from the initial consultation to the final stain check. Because these designs are intricate and can take up to 90 minutes per hand, we manage these bookings separately from our standard group services to give you our undivided attention. We provide these services at your home across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your event timeline. This is professional, high-density art that requires a steady hand and a clear vision, both of which we guarantee for your big day. ## About Gaurav Mehandi I am Gaurav, and for me, mehandi is a way to tell your life’s biggest stories on your skin.
