Mehendi
Mehendi is a traditional form of body art that involves applying a paste made from the leaves of the henna plant. This paste is typically used to create intricate designs on the skin, especially on the hands and feet. The art is popular in many cultures, particularly in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, where it is often associated with celebrations and special occasions.
The application of Mehendi is commonly seen during weddings, festivals, and other significant events. The designs can range from simple patterns to elaborate motifs, often symbolizing joy, love, and good fortune. Once applied, the paste dries and leaves a reddish-brown stain on the skin, which can last for several days.
