About this collection

For my framed portraits, I use a permanent fixative method so your artwork stays vibrant without flaking. I ask for a high-resolution photo to capture the details, and since I need 5 to 7 days to draw, seal, and frame your piece, please reach out at least a week before you need the gift.

Turning Henna into a Keepsake

Many of my clients fall in love with the intricate patterns of henna and wish they could last longer than a few days on the skin. That is why I started creating these permanent pieces. Whether you are looking for a unique anniversary surprise, a birthday gift, or a way to remember a special milestone, these items bridge the gap between temporary tradition and lasting art.

Framed Portraits

I recreate your favorite photos—shoulder-up portraits of couples, parents, or even deities like Radha Krishna—using henna on high-quality paper or canvas boards. Unlike skin application, this process requires patience. I sketch the outline, build the design layer by layer, and then carefully apply a fixative to ensure the henna remains dark and intact. Each piece comes in a protective wooden or synthetic frame with glass, ready to be gifted or displayed on your wall.

Hand-Painted Candles

My scented candles are treated with colored acrylic paste, creating a fusion of fragrance and folk art. These are perfect as decorative accents for your home or as return gifts for festivals and celebrations. They add a touch of warmth and traditional aesthetic to any room.

How to Order

Since these are custom-made items, I do not have a ready-to-ship stock. Every piece is made to order based on the specific details or photos you provide. To ensure the highest quality, I recommend booking at least one week in advance. This gives me the necessary time to handle the intricate artwork and proper sealing process required for a premium finish.
