About Mehndi Art Classes & Workshops
I see mehndi as more than just pretty designs - it's pure 'dil se' (from the heart) work for me. Whenever someone comes to learn from me, I treat you just like my own beti, not just as a regular student. Whatever your background, we make this journey together, and I stand by you - that's my promise.
What To Expect
- We’re a family in class, not just a batch of students. There’s always laughter, chai breaks, and lots of encouragement when someone struggles.
- If you’re a newbie, don’t stress. I’ll teach you from scratch - holding the cone, making straight lines, simple floral patterns, all the basics.
- For those already doing mehndi, my bridal mehndi design workshop digs into the really detailed, pro-level stuff - think full bridal, portrait work, even themed festival pieces.
Why My Classes
- Every student gets my personal attention. Even in group sessions, I make time for one-on-one feedback.
- Our classes happen in Ghatkopar - so if you’re searching for mehndi classes in Mumbai, this is your spot.
- You won’t be left hanging after the course. For two years, I help with practice, answer doubts, and guide you as you grow.
See The Results
- My students have gone from nervous beginners to creating stunning bridal and portrait mehndi.
- We celebrate everyone’s progress, big or small - that’s what makes me proud as a teacher.
If you want hands-on mehndi learning in a place that feels like home, you’ll fit right in here.

My Story
Hi, I'm Geeta. Mehndi is my life, really. My Guru ji, Kishore Thakkar, always gave me his aashirvad - can't thank him enough. Now, my students are like my own daughters, and our classes feel like family. We dance at Navratri, laugh on train rides, and celebrate Guru Purnima together. Once, I did a full design for an 85-year-old dadi, and it made me so happy. Mehndi is for everyone, no matter your age.
