Authentic Maharashtrian Bridal & Traditional Makeup
From the royal Peshwai bridal look to elegant traditional styles for your family, I create makeup that honors our beautiful Maharashtrian culture with a fresh, modern touch.
A complete transformation into a classic Peshwai Maharashtrian bride. This look features vibrant, sunset-toned eyeshadow, a sharp wing, and a traditional red lip, all brought together with authentic accessories like the mundavalya, chandrakor bindi, and a classic bridal nath.
A radiant traditional Maharashtrian look, perfect for a wedding or festive occasion. The makeup features defined eyes, a classic nose ring (nath), and a subtle red lip that complements the black and red silk saree.

A classic and neat low bun hairstyle, elegantly adorned with a string of fresh white gajra (jasmine flowers). This traditional Indian hairstyle is perfect for pairing with a saree and is a popular choice for weddings and pujas.
This video shows the process of creating a soft and elegant Maharashtrian look. I focused on a simple braided hairstyle and fresh, natural-looking makeup that enhances features without feeling heavy, making it ideal for a family member or guest at a wedding.

About Maharashtrian Bridal & Traditional Looks
Getting the classic Maharashtrian look right is all about the details, like securing that heavy Nath so it stays comfortable for hours or pinning the Nauvari saree so you can move freely during rituals. I focus on these practicalities first, ensuring your accessories and drapes are secure while keeping your makeup fresh and sweat-resistant for the long ceremonies ahead.
Whether you are planning a grand Peshwai wedding or a simple puja, my goal is to highlight your features while respecting the traditional aesthetic. A lot of my work involves getting the balance right between the bold, iconic elements and the comfort you need to actually enjoy your event.
The Peshwai & Traditional Difference
I specialize in the authentic details that define a Maharashtrian bride. This includes precise placement of the Chandrakor bindi, ensuring the Nath sits perfectly, and managing the complex draping of a nine-yard Nauvari or a heavy Paithani saree. I use high-definition, matte-finish products that handle studio lighting and humidity well, so your makeup stays intact from the first ritual to the final photo.
Looks for the Whole Family
Weddings are a family affair. I do not just focus on the bride. I love getting mothers, sisters, and friends ready too. We can coordinate styles, whether you want a soft, natural look for a pre-wedding function or something more defined for the reception. I provide end-to-end styling, including hairstyling with real gajra and complex saree draping, so you have one less thing to worry about.
My Approach
As a CIDESCO-certified artist, I take hygiene and technique seriously, but I also keep things fun. We will chat, laugh, and test different looks until we find exactly what makes you feel like yourself. My service is mobile within 20km of Pune, meaning I come to your home or venue, saving you the stress of travel on your big day.
