About this activity
Learn traditional henna application directly from Vertika, a local artist who carries forward generations of family expertise in this ancient Indian art form. This intimate 2-hour session combines hands-on henna design instruction with an authentic meal, offering genuine cultural immersion in Jodhpur.
Hello, I'm Vertika, lead this experience. I am an Indian woman who is obsessed with Indian art and food. Henna is passed to us in our family generation by generation. So we are happy to share our art and culture with you for your India trip. Therefore, I would want to pass on my knowledge with you. I was introduced to the art of Henna ( Mehandi ) as a form of self care. I will be applying traditional Henna designs.
I am talented in specializing in henna workshops for those interested in working with natural henna. Providing quality client experiences, a wealth of resources and focused instruction.
Henna is a green leaf that is dried and mashed into a paste to apply a 2 week stain to the palms, legs and backs of hands.
