About Portrait & Storytelling Mehandi
Mehandi with a Personal Touch
I see every hand as a canvas and every story as art that deserves to be told. With 15 years of experience, I turn your memories and quirks into mehandi that’s nothing like the usual. Whether it’s that Royal Enfield ride, your proposal, or your inside jokes, I’m here to make your custom wedding mehandi design feel like a memory, not just a pattern.
What Goes Into Your Mehendi
- Couple portrait henna art for your big day or a quick sketch of your family for that nostalgia kick.
- Something funny? Your sister saying “Chal Hatt!” (Go away!) or your obsession with golgappas, I can add all that.
- Milestones, dates, cities—Worli Seaface to Burj Khalifa, all can be part of the design.
- Divine figures like Radha-Krishna or Shiv-Parvati if that’s close to your heart.
Not Just for Brides
Family story mehendi isn’t only for weddings. I create designs for engagements, roka, baby showers (think prams and onesies!), festivals like Karwa Chauth, or even spiritual journeys like Jain Diksha.
My Approach
I believe, “Saiyami vichre sidhina shikhre”—patience and devotion matter. Every stroke is personal, detailed, and honest. Some designs are super intricate, so they take time and patience. But in the end, your hands tell your story, your way.

My Story
Hey, I’m Helly. Mumbai is home, but my mehandi travels wherever you want. Been at this for 15 years, and honestly, every new hand is like a fresh canvas. I get a kick out of weaving real stories into the designs—family, inside jokes, all of it. Had the chance to do mehandi for Jain Diksharthi's once, and it hit me deep. ‘Saiyami vichre sidhina shikhre’ (wander with restraint, reach the top)—that’s how I work. Let’s make your story part of my art.
My Work
All Types of Mehandi Art - Bridal, minimalist, grooms, festival—whatever you want, I’ve got you covered.
Your Story in Henna - Specialty in portrait henna art, custom designs with your memories and quirks.
Tradition Meets Modern - Love classic motifs, but I’ll mix it up for you. Spiritual Jain diksha mehandi too.
15 Years of Experience - Quality henna, deep stains, Mumbai-based, but I travel for your big day.
