My favorite thing? That moment clients say, “Aaj toh paisa vasool ho gaya!” (Today I really got my money’s worth!). I want every design to feel special - like handcrafted happiness. ### Portraits & Memories in Mehendi Most brides ask me for portrait henna art. Couple portraits on palms, proposal scenes, or even mini versions of your engagement look - I use your photos for reference, so you get mehendi that actually looks like you. I also do designs for baby showers, family bonds, mundan, and more - anything that marks a big moment. ### Faith & Tradition Some want mehendi as a blessing, so I can add Lord Ganesha, Shiv-Parvati, or any spiritual motifs you like. Regal stuff like jharokhas (traditional balconies) and forts, or classic symbols like dhol (drum) and kalash (ceremonial pot) also work if you’re into traditional vibes. ### All The Little Touches If you want your pet, favorite flower, or anything quirky, I’m up for it. Custom love story mehendi isn’t only for weddings. I do designs for Teej, Ganesh Chaturthi, Karwa Chauth, and family get-togethers too. I always start by chatting with you - your ideas, your story. Share photos, symbols, anything you want. I’ll make sure your mehendi isn’t just pretty, but personal. And if you’ve got a tattoo, I’ll blend the design in so it all looks seamless. ## Highlights Browse through Charmi Khaniya's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/mehendi_by_charmi/custom-portrait-storytelling-mehendi/featured) - [Video: This is what I love to do most: telling your unique love story in henna.
