Professional Mehandi designs for every special occasion
From intricate bridal patterns to personalized baby shower art, here are my favorite designs that highlight the range of work I do across Mumbai.
This custom baby shower mehandi tells a beautiful story, featuring portraits of the parents-to-be, the words 'आई' (mother) and 'बाबा' (father), and a depiction of baby Krishna. I love creating these unique designs that celebrate your most special moments.

An elegant and modern mehandi design perfect for guests. This pattern features delicate hanging jhumkas (earrings) and bird motifs, offering a stylish and less dense alternative to traditional heavy designs.
This is a special design for Karwa Chauth, one of the most popular festivals for mehandi. It features the traditional scene of a woman looking at the moon through a chalni (sieve), a classic and beloved theme for the occasion.

An example of my intricate foot mehandi. This design features geometric jaal work, lotus motifs, and hanging jhumkas, perfectly complementing the henna on the hands for a complete bridal or festive look.
This showcases a modern Arabic mehandi style. The design uses negative space effectively, with flowing vines and bold floral elements on the hands and wrist for a chic and contemporary feel.
Here is a glimpse of my process. I take great care in applying each element with a steady hand, ensuring the final design is flawless and exactly what you envisioned.
About Featured
What you see in the gallery is the result of organic, triple-sifted henna paste mixed with eucalyptus oil. Whether I am doing a complex bridal sleeve or a quick Arabic trail for guests, I prioritize clean lines and consistent stain quality. If you have a specific motif in mind, like a portrait or a custom text script, share it with me before we book so I can prepare the design layout.
My Approach to Mehandi Design
Every hand tells a different story. I do not believe in generic copy-paste designs. Whether it is a traditional Indian bridal piece or a modern Arabic floral trail, the flow must match the occasion and your personal style.
Styles & Customization
- Bridal & Traditional: These designs are dense, often incorporating fine-line jaal work, peacock motifs, and classic floral patterns. For brides, I focus on symmetry and balance between the palm and the back of the hand.
- Baby Shower (Godh Bharai): These are some of my most rewarding projects. I integrate meaningful elements like 'Aai' (mother), 'Baba' (father), footprints, and even caricatures to document this milestone.
- Guest & Festive: For larger events like weddings or festivals like Karwa Chauth, I offer faster, lighter patterns. This includes mandala-based designs or elegant Arabic vines that look great but do not require you to sit for hours.
Booking & Logistics
I work primarily with 100% natural henna for that signature deep stain. For group bookings, I bring along my team of assistant artists to ensure everyone gets a beautiful design without long waits. I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area for bookings.
If you have a design reference, let me know. If not, we can pick elements from my portfolio to create a style that works for your outfit and the event.
