About Custom & Storytelling Mehendi
What Mehendi Means to Me
Mehendi is my sukoon (peace) - not just a design, but a way to show your story. I get the most joy from turning your journey, moments, and inside jokes into wearable art. Some people might say, “Arre, time waste hai,” but honestly, aeisa time waste karna toh banta hai, haina?
Your Story, Your Mehendi
I love working with couples to create custom designs that capture their love story. Think couple portrait mehendi, little sketches of how you met, a Mumbai skyline if that’s your vibe, or even a “Paise do Jute lo” sign for your wedding rituals. Got special dates or a wedding hashtag? I can sneak those in too. If you want personalized love story designs, I’m all in.
Designs for Every Occasion
It’s not just about weddings. For festivals like Navratri, I can add garba figures (aee haloo!), or create special Karwa Chauth and Teej patterns. Jain ceremonies mean a lot to me, and I offer mehendi for Diksharthi free of charge. Baby shower coming up? I can do baby portraits, toys, and “It’s a boy/girl” designs.
The Stain Matters
I’m super picky about my henna - only high-quality, natural henna goes on your hands. That deep, rich natural henna stain is a must for me. If you care about the final colour as much as the design, we’ll get along just fine.
