For Karwa Chauth, your mehendi is more than a design—it is a story. I capture your rituals, from the moon-viewing to couple portraits, with the same dedication I have brought to this craft for over two decades.

This Karwa Chauth design features a couple scene on one palm and a special message with the moon on the other. The checkered pattern on the fingers and the rose cuff at the wrist add a modern touch.

Here, I have drawn a woman performing the Karwa Chauth ritual on one hand and a couple portrait on the other. The design also includes a 'Shubh Deep' (auspicious lamp) to bring good fortune.

A popular design for Karwa Chauth, showing the wife looking at her husband through the channi. The other hand features a portrait of the couple together, capturing the essence of the festival.

This design focuses on the Karwa Chauth rituals. One palm shows the couple together, while the other shows the wife with the puja thali and sieve. The hanging jhumkas and lotus details on the fingers complete the look.

A beautiful Karwa Chauth scene drawn on the palm, with a couple under a tree and a monument in the background. This design tells a romantic story, perfect for the occasion.

This design combines several Karwa Chauth elements. It features a woman with a kalash, a peacock, and the 'Om' and 'Swastik' symbols for blessings.

I've included many auspicious elements here, like an elephant with 'Karwa' written on it and a woman with a thali. The lotus motifs on the fingers and wrist add a touch of purity and beauty.

About this collection

Every portrait design I create—whether it is a couple scene or a ritual moment like moon-sighting—is drawn with ultra-fine 0.3mm tips to ensure the details remain sharp through your celebrations. I use a specialized, essential-oil enriched Rajasthani henna paste for these intricate scenes, which not only gives you that deep, dark stain but also prevents smudging, keeping your personal story clear on your palms.

Karwa Chauth is a deeply personal festival, and I believe your mehendi should reflect that intimacy. Over the last 25 years, I have moved away from standard patterns to focus on storytelling. When you book a portrait service with me, we don't just pick a design; we plan it.

My Approach to Karwa Chauth Art

  • Story-Based Portraits: I specialize in capturing the essence of the festival. I often incorporate elements like the channi (sieve), the moon-viewing moment, and detailed couple portraits that look like sketches rather than simple henna patterns.
  • Technical Precision: Because these designs often involve shading to show depth in fabric folds or facial features, I use high-quality organic henna that provides a rich, long-lasting stain. This is essential for the dark, festive color that is a hallmark of a well-executed mehendi.
  • Customization: Whether you want the skyline of your city, a traditional temple background, or specific motifs like Ganesha for blessings, I can adapt the design to your vision. If you have an idea—like your wedding date or a specific poem—bol do (just tell me), and I will weave it into the pattern.

Planning Your Booking

Since portrait and story-based designs require a high level of concentration and time, I limit the number of appointments I take per day during the Karwa Chauth season. I travel to your location across Delhi NCR, or you can visit my studio in Greater Kailash-1 for a pre-application consultation. Because these designs are labor-intensive, I recommend reaching out at least a week before the festival so we can finalize the details of your story.
