Traditional Indian motifs like peacocks, elephants, and lotuses never go out of style. Whether for a wedding or a festival, I draw these patterns with fine detail for a classic, full look.

About Classic Motifs: Peacocks, Elephants & Lotuses

For these traditional designs, the key is clean, thin lines so the peacock feathers or lotus petals don't look crowded. I use organic henna only, which is why I can promise a deep, dark stain that lasts, whether you’re getting these for a quick festival look or a detailed bridal session.

I'm Kapil, I work out of Ghatkopar. For 15 years, I've been doing mehendi for weddings and festivals. If you want traditional motifs like peacocks or elephants, I make sure the lines are sharp and the colour comes out dark.
