About Occasional & Festive Mehndi
Mehndi That Connects Us
Mehndi is not just decoration for me - it's a way to celebrate, to feel close to our roots. Mehndi, ek kala hai jo humein hamari jadon se jodti hai (Mehndi is an art that connects us to our roots). I put my heart into every design, whether it's for a big festival or a small family get-together.
Designs for Every Occasion
I love working on festive mehndi for all kinds of celebrations in Mumbai. Karwa Chauth mehndi designs are a favourite - I can add names, rituals, or even a little inside joke. For baby shower mehndi art, I often draw portraits or symbols that mean something special to the family. Festivals like Teej and Gangour call for rich, traditional motifs. Even if you just want something pretty for a party, I’ll make sure your hands stand out.
Your Story, My Cone
I enjoy making designs that tell a story. Figurative work is my specialty - maybe a mother and child for Godh Bharai, or something that’s just yours. If you have an idea, I’m up for the challenge.
My Style & Stain
My style is mostly traditional Indian and Rajasthani, with peacocks, elephants, lotus, and jaal patterns. I also do modern Arabic and fusion if you want something different. I use only natural henna for a deep, rich stain - because the colour matters as much as the design.
