A Mendhi artist specializes in applying henna designs on the skin, often for special occasions like weddings and festivals. The intricate patterns are created using a paste made from the leaves of the henna plant, which stains the skin a reddish-brown color. This art form is popular in many cultures, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East. Mendhi designs can range from simple motifs to elaborate patterns that cover large areas of the body. The application process involves using a cone or a small applicator to draw the designs, and the results can last for several days to weeks. Mendhi is not only a form of body art but also carries cultural significance, symbolizing joy and celebration.
