Custom & Traditional Mehendi Designs
I’m Chanchal, and I believe every mehendi design tells a story. From heartfelt bridal portraits to playful baby shower themes, here is a collection of my favorite work blending traditional artistry with your personal memories.
This baby shower mehendi is one of my absolute favorites. I captured the expecting parents in a portrait, surrounded by cute baby motifs, a cradle, and even a little elephant with balloons to tell their unique story.
A beautiful bridal couple portrait on the forearm. I love capturing the love and connection between partners, creating a piece of art they can cherish for their special day.
For this bride, we did something really special: a full forearm portrait of Lord Shiva and Parvati with Nandi. I take great care in getting the details right for such spiritual and significant designs.
This Karwa Chauth design tells a story. On one hand, a portrait of the couple, and on the other, the classic scene of a wife looking at the moon through a sieve, celebrating the festival's tradition.
Belly henna is such a beautiful way to celebrate pregnancy. I created this intricate mother and child portrait surrounded by a lotus mandala, making it a memorable part of the maternity journey.
A perfect example of rich, traditional Indian mehendi. This design is filled with classic elements like majestic peacocks, a domed structure, a lotus, and a parade of elephants.
This is my take on a modern Indo-Western design. It combines the intricacy of Indian patterns with the flowing, open spaces of Arabic mehendi, creating a light yet detailed look.

About Featured
When I sketch custom elements like portraits, wedding hashtags, or tiny figures, I map them to the contours of your hands first. This ensures that intricate details, like a groom's profile or a baby’s feet, stay clear and proportional rather than getting lost in the surrounding pattern. It is a small planning step that makes a huge difference in how the final design 'reads' after the stain sets.
I have been practicing mehendi in Bangalore for over 9 years, and for me, it is always about capturing your specific moment. Whether you are looking for a heavy 'Bharwa' style with complex jaal work or a modern, minimalist fusion design, I approach each session with the same level of care.
My Approach to Customization
Every hand is different, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all templates. If you come to me with a vision—be it an inside joke, a specific deity like Shiva-Parvati, or a tribute to your love story—I will find a way to weave it into the design. My goal is to use traditional motifs like peacocks, domes, and lotuses to frame your personal story, ensuring the mehendi looks cohesive and meaningful.
Quality & Safety
One of the most important things for me is the quality of the henna. I use 100% organic, skin-safe cones that I mix myself using essential oils like eucalyptus and lavender. This isn't just for the smell; it is for the safety and the final result. I guarantee a dark, rich maroon stain that matures over 48 hours, which is exactly why my clients often tell me 'bohot maza aata hai' when they see the final color.
