About this collection
I make my own henna paste using only natural powder and oils, so you never have to worry about chemicals or skin irritation. When I work on traditional patterns like these, I focus on getting a dark, consistent stain that lasts, whether I am doing a simple floral mandala for a festival or full-coverage jaal work.
Traditional Indian mehendi is all about the details. From the dense coverage of a classic jaal (net) pattern to specific symbols like peacocks, elephants, and lotus flowers, every element has a place. My goal is to ensure the design feels balanced, whether you need something for a Varamahalakshmi puja, a wedding ceremony, or a family get-together.
I have spent over six years practicing these specific strokes. You might notice in my work that I favor symmetry and clean, defined lines. Because I prepare my own organic henna cones, the paste provides a rich, reddish-brown stain that develops beautifully over 24 to 48 hours. I do not use store-bought cones, as they often contain chemicals that can harm the skin.
Whether you need a quick design for an event or a detailed arm-length pattern, I bring my workspace to you. I travel frequently to homes and venues across Bangalore, Channapatna, Ramanagara, and Mysore to make your ceremony as comfortable as possible. Let me know what occasion you are celebrating, and we can discuss a design that fits the tone of your gathering.
