I create intricate mandala and traditional Rajasthani mehndi patterns right at your doorstep in Mumbai. Whether you want a clean, elegant circular motif or detailed ethnic elements, I will bring the design to life using my organic henna paste.

A classic mandala design, shown here with its beautiful dark stain. The central circle is surrounded by layers of detailed patterns, complemented by a matching bracelet and simple leaf motifs on the fingers.

This video shows the creation of a highly detailed mandala on the back of the hand. The design is connected to a wrist cuff, creating the look of an elegant piece of hand jewellery.

A personal favorite, these matching mandalas feature tiny elephants at the center, a classic element of Rajasthani mehndi. It’s a unique design perfect for any celebration.

This shows two different styles of mandalas on two hands. One is a traditional circular design, while the other is a more modern hexagonal shape, both filled with intricate floral details.

A simple yet striking mandala on the palm, paired with a floral wristband. The fingertips are left open, which creates a beautiful contrast and makes the central design the main focus.

This video shows the process of creating a mandala and wristband combination. You can see how I carefully apply the henna to create clean lines and symmetrical patterns.

Another look at this popular mandala design, showing how it elegantly adorns the hand. This style is versatile and suits any festive occasion.

This is a Meena Kari style design, where I create spaces within the pattern that can be filled in later for a two-toned effect. The central mandala is surrounded by a full coverage floral pattern.

About Mandala & Rajasthani Art

When I sit down to apply a mandala, I focus on the balance between the central motif and the surrounding negative space. Whether you prefer a classic circular pattern or one featuring traditional Rajasthani elements like tiny elephants, I use organic henna to ensure the final stain comes out deep and rich. You can decide the density of your design, from a light, modern look to heavy wrist coverage that mimics jewellery.

My approach to mandala and Rajasthani art is all about precision and storytelling. Rajasthani designs are famous for their detail—I often incorporate grid work, peacock motifs, or elephants, which bring a traditional, royal feel to the palm or back of the hand. If you want a more modern touch, I can adapt the circular mandala into hexagonal or floral shapes that still hold that central focus.

Why Choose This Style?

  • Versatility: Mandalas work for everything from a casual party to a full wedding look. You can keep it minimalist for an office event or go heavy with cuff details for a sangeet.
  • Visual Impact: The contrast between the bold central mandala and the delicate finger patterns creates a balanced, clean look that photographs beautifully.
  • Meenakari Technique: I also offer Meenakari-style fills where I leave specific spaces within the design to be filled with deep, dark stain, giving your hands a two-toned, jewelry-like effect.

My Process

I am a mobile artist, which means I come to you. I don't use stencils—every swirl, line, and dot is drawn freehand. I carry my own organic henna mix, which is chemical-free and safe for all skin types. Whether you are in South Mumbai or the suburbs, I bring the cones and the patience required for detailed art, so you can simply sit back and relax while I work. If you have a specific pattern in mind or want to mix Rajasthani elements with a modern Arabic twist, let me know when we book.

Mehndi is not just my job, it is my dil ka kaam (work of my heart). I practice every swirl on paper before I start on your hands to make sure it is perfect, because that smile when you see your henna stain is exactly what I live for.
