Mehndi Maharani 2015 Finalist: Bhavna’s Henna & Arts

October 29, 2015 153 Comments

Welcome back to Mehndi Week, Maharanis! Today's first finalist of the day is Bhavna Naik of Bhavna’s Henna and Arts. She's an esteemed artist from USA, and she shares with us why mehndi for her has a deeper meaning than just meets the eye. She says about mehndi:

"When I am doing mehndi, it feels like meditation. It has a therapeutic effect on me and the receiver. We connect and the client feels beautiful and happy—that makes me happy in return. That's what I love about mehndi; it's a medium to spread happiness and joy.." - Bhavna Naik

Bhavna is one of the most talented artists and kindest people I know. She takes the time to design each wedding mehndi according to what the bride wants, down to the smallest elements, and then executes the design with care and to perfection.

By Arthur. 05:24am October 29, 2015 (PDT)

Bhavna is an amazing artist, always evolving, always perfecting her craft, always thinking about next design, even in her limited "spare" time -- that's when you can truly tell that someone has a PASSION for henna rather than treating henna as "just a job."

By KatyaS. 05:26am October 29, 2015 (PDT)
