Mehandi is the daytime women's gathering where the bride's hands and feet get covered in detailed henna designs, usually by a professional artist while everyone else sits around chatting, snacking, and getting their own hands done by secondary artists. It's the calmest event of the wedding week, the one where the women of both families finally meet over tea and a long unhurried meal. By evening the bride's mehandi has dried into deep colour and the family rolls into the next event of the day.
The catering brief is daytime and women-led. Guests arrive over a long window (mehandi application takes 2 to 3 hours), seated in groups, getting their own hands decorated by additional artists. The food is grazing-friendly and easy to eat with one hand: thalis, mini meals, finger snacks, fruits, and sweets. Many families overlap Mehandi with the Sangeet later that evening, in which case both can be on the same quote.

What kind of cuisine do you cater?+

Yes. The standard Telugu and South Indian menu has 60+ items across starters, rices, breads, gravies, and desserts. You can choose Veg or Non-Veg, request sattvic / no-onion-no-garlic / Jain preparations, or describe a custom menu in the quote form. The team confirms specifics on WhatsApp.
What menu format works best for Mehandi?+
Easy-to-eat formats work best since guests are mid-application with drying mehandi on their hands. Thali plates with separated compartments, mini meals, finger snacks, sweets, and fruits suit the long sitting window. Wet curries that need a second hand are tricky.
Can the Mehandi and Sangeet be on the same day's quote?+
Yes, this is common. Mehandi runs daytime, Sangeet runs evening. Both can be on a single multi-event quote with the menu transitioning from the daytime grazing spread to the evening multi-station setup.
