Every design I do is a little dose of happiness, whether it’s a tiny symbol for Paryushan or a full palm for a Jain diksha. My mehendi isn’t just decoration, it’s a part of our devotion. ### Custom Designs for Jain Ceremonies I know how special Jain religious moments are, so I make sure every mehendi reflects the emotion and tradition behind it. I work with you to create custom motifs for diksha, Tapasvi Parna (Siddhitap, Varshitap, 16 Upwas), Paryushan, and more. Think Tirthankara figures, sacred Kalash, Shankha, or even a mini Derasar on your hand. If you’re a Diksharthi, this is my seva to you - I offer complimentary mehendi as a small part of your spiritual journey. ### Festivals, Deities, and Traditions From Ganesh Chaturthi palm designs to Navratri dancers, I love bringing deities to life. I can do minimalist Ganeshas, Durga Maa for Garba, Shiv-Parvati, Radha-Krishna, or festive Karwa Chauth and Diwali story motifs. Bol diya toh bas ho gaya - you ask, I draw! ### Only the Good Stuff I use 100% natural henna, no shortcuts. I chase those deep stain goals and get obsessed with the tiny details - lotus, peacocks, even Sanjhi-inspired patterns. If you want your mehendi to actually mean something, I’m here. Time waste nahi hai yaar, art hi toh hai! ## Highlights Browse through Nikita Shah's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/henna_art_by_nikita_shah/religious-spiritual-mehendi/featured) - [Video: This full-hand mehendi was created for a Varshitap Tapasvi, celebrating the completion of a year-long fast.
