## About Mehndi Classes & Workshops

I see mehndi as more than just decoration - it's a skill that can open doors. Like I always say, "Kala SARASWATI Ma Deti hai" (Art is a gift from Goddess Saraswati) and "Angat asleli kala kadhich upashi marat nahi" (The art within you will never let you starve). Teaching mehndi lets me pass on this gift to others.

### What You’ll Learn With Me
- Start from scratch, even if you’ve never held a cone before.
- Step by step mehndi tutorial style - we work on paper first, then real hands.
- I’ll show you how to make your own henna paste and roll cones.
- You’ll pick up lines, spirals, checks, jhumkhas, florals, peacocks, and even cut-work.
- For those after more, I run a bridal mehndi design workshop focusing on figures and wedding themes.
- Love flowers? My floral henna art classes are all about arranging unique blooms and patterns.
- Into portraits? I offer a short crash course in portrait mehndi techniques.

### How My Classes Run
- All sessions at my place near Ram Mandir, Goregaon West, Mumbai.
- Weekday afternoons, small group batches - so you get personal attention.
- No need to bring anything - cones and materials are sorted for you.

If you’re after hands-on henna training or want to finally nail those intricate designs, I’ll help you get there. Every class is practical, no fluff, and I promise you’ll actually learn.

## Meet your expert

[Leena Purabiya](https://mytribe.in/leenamehndiartist)

### My story

Hi, I’m Leena from Mumbai. Mehndi is my blessing, my kala. Saraswati Ma gave me this gift and my hands just know how to create magic. I always say, 'Angat asleli kala kadhich upashi marat nahi' (the art inside you never lets you starve). I love teaching too – sharing this kala with anyone who wants to learn. When not drawing mehndi, I’m dancing for Ganpati or shouting for Team India! My husband’s my biggest support since 2005. Life’s good, I’m grateful.

### My work

- **Bridal & Family Mehndi**: I do bridal mehndi, siders, and party orders – from simple to heavy, with bride-groom face mehndi if you want.
- **Unique Mehndi Styles**: I love modern pichwai, mandala mehndi designs, cutwork, and cute motifs like elephants and lotuses.
- **Mehndi Classes**: I teach portrait mehndi classes, henna mixology, cone rolling, and more. Classes are in Goregaon, cones included.
