Mehndi is a traditional form of body art that involves applying intricate designs using a paste made from the leaves of the henna plant. This art form is popular in many cultures, especially in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. The designs can range from simple patterns to elaborate motifs, often featuring floral and geometric shapes. Typically, Mehndi is applied during special occasions such as weddings, festivals, and celebrations. The paste is usually applied to the hands and feet, and it stains the skin a reddish-brown color. The intensity of the color can vary based on skin type and the duration the paste is left on the skin.
