Rajasthani Mehendi Designs: Style Guide & Booking

Where rajasthani mehendi comes from

It comes from the royal and folk art of Rajasthan, where bridal henna was treated as a narrative art form. Many Rajasthani designs tell a small story - the bride, the groom, the doli and the procession - spread across both hands and feet.

How to recognise rajasthani mehendi

• Near-total coverage with very fine lines

• Strict mirror symmetry between both hands

Tips before you book

1. Book a bridal trial so you can see the artist's figure work at full scale.
2. Dense designs need extra drying time - plan at least 6 hours before you wash.
3. Share any motifs that matter to your family before the session starts.
