About Mehndi Art Workshops
Why I Run These Workshops
Mehndi feels personal to me. Every stroke can hold a story, and I try to bring that into every session. My workshops in Bangalore are not just about copying designs - they’re about helping you find your own style. If you’re someone who likes to get their hands dirty (literally, yaar), then you’ll enjoy this.
What You’ll Learn
- How to handle a henna cone so it actually listens to you.
- Getting your basics right: lines, dots, those tricky paisleys.
- How to build up to bigger designs without getting lost halfway.
- We’ll cover all kinds of styles: traditional Indian, bridal mehndi techniques, easy modern patterns, mandalas, and my favourite - portrait mehndi art.
- I’ll show you how I mix and use only herbal henna for that deep colour (no chemical stuff here).
Who Should Come
- Total beginners who’ve never touched a cone.
- Hobby artists wanting to up their game with a proper mandala mehndi workshop.
- Anyone dreaming of going pro, especially with bridal work or portraits.
What Makes My Workshops Different
I’m hands-on, not strict. Mistakes happen, toh kya? You’ll leave with skills you can use right away - and stains on your palm that’ll make you smile.

My Story
Hey, I'm Sonu. Mehndi isn’t just a job for me, it’s a way to capture memories. I’ve drawn a couple’s London love story on their palms, even sketched a bride’s papa so he could be there with her. My own herbal mehndi paste? Pure stuff, gives real deep colour, I promise. Every design, every line, I put my heart in. Mehndi is love, mehndi is stories.
My Work
Bridal & Family Mehndi - Bridal mehndi is my jam, but I also do groom, family, and baby shower henna designs.
Herbal Mehndi Paste & Colour Promise - I use my own herbal mehndi paste, with a colour guarantee. No chemical nonsense, just rich natural stain.
Portrait Mehndi & Storytelling Designs - Want your papa’s face or your love story in henna? I do portraits, names, and custom symbols.
Minimalist & Kids’ Mehndi - Not just full hands - minimalist patterns and cute designs for kids, if that’s your vibe.
