Ayurveda is the traditional Indian system of natural wellness that our products draw from — for example, ingredients like Multani Mitti, Amla and Shikakai have been used in Indian households for generations before becoming modern retail products. For more background, see Ayurveda on Wikipedia.
Not everyone chooses the same route for colour or care. For occasions where time is short, some people prefer instant, chemical-based mehndi cones for their speed and darker tone. On the other hand, Ayurvedic practitioners generally advise natural henna and herbal powders instead, since synthetic dyes such as PPD (para-phenylenediamine) are a known cause of skin irritation in sensitive users — see the Wikipedia entry on henna for background on both traditional and chemically-treated variants. That long-term skin-safety consideration is why families who prioritise natural personal care continue to choose Ayurvedic products, even though they can take longer to prepare than instant alternatives.
Our products
As a result of nearly five decades of manufacturing, our current catalogue spans 23+ SKUs. Below is the full list; each links to pack sizes, retail price, and bulk rate.
Nartaki Henna is an Ayurvedic conditioner mehendi that nourishes hair while colouring it naturally, available in six pack sizes from 20g to 800g.
What is Sugandhi Utane?
Sugandhi Utane is a traditional Ayurvedic abhyang-snan (ubtan) powder used for festive and everyday bathing rituals, sold in multiple pack sizes for both individual and couple use.
Retail vs. bulk — which is right for you?
Not every buyer needs the same thing. On the other hand, some customers only want a single pack for home use, while retailers and distributors need case-level pricing. Here's how the two options compare, so you can pick what fits:
Retail pack
Bulk / wholesale
Best for
Individual households
Shops, distributors, gifting businesses
Pack sizes
Smallest available size per product
Dozens, cases, or custom case breakups
Pricing
MRP as listed per product
Case rate, quoted on request
How to order
WhatsApp, Instagram, or email
WhatsApp, Instagram, or email — same channels
Industry-wide, Ayurvedic and herbal personal-care products are typically sold either as everyday retail SKUs or as wholesale case packs for the trade — Pravin Mehendi supports both from the same catalogue rather than running a separate bulk-only line.
How to order, step by step
If you already know what you need, ordering takes three steps:
Browse the Shop and note the product, pack size, and quantity you want.
We confirm pricing, pack sizes, and delivery, then process your order directly — there is no online checkout on this site.
Manufacturing, in brief
Every batch we produce moves through six controlled steps — raw material inspection, cleaning, drying, grinding, sieving, and packing — at our own facility in Pune. The same facility and the same six-step process supply both retail packs and wholesale case orders, so a single pack and a bulk order go through identical quality checks. Read the full process on the Manufacturing page.
