Jan 25, 2022

Whether there's an occasion to attend or a festival to celebrate, we girls love to have mehndi applied on our hands without any particular reason. The happiness in applying mehndi is beyond words, especially in our South Asian culture. There are no particular phenomena behind the craze of mehndi but the wish is only to have the best out of many designs and have beautiful, dark-colored mehndi on our palms. Well, it doesn't end here, there are some more classical stories behind henna.

The History of Mehndi

Since ancient times we have been using Mehndi for numerous purposes. From medicinal value to commercial body art and as a regular cooling down herb, it was treated as a magical wand for ages. The core uses of henna had been in the hands of the bride-to-be. Widely known in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Assam, South Asian countries, and also a few of the western countries like South Africa, Arab, and others, the perspective is different for applying mehndi but the usage remained the same by all to beautify the hands and body.  The interesting fact is that the Henna plant was scientifically called Lawsonia inermis, whose dry leaves are used to make mehndi that was specially designed for the enrichment of hands and body, for both men and women. Egyptians used to decorate the hands with mehndi and then slowly the patterns and art came into existence with flowers, moon, peacock, bold strokes, dots, and many others. The innovation and creation played a major role in bringing the mehndi into the limelight, which is why today we have eight types of mehndi designs with diversification in pattern and motifs to adore them. The types are as follows:

1. Moroccan mehndi designs

2. Western-style mehndi designs

3. Indian mehndi designs

4. Pakistani mehndi designs

5. Arabic mehndi designs

6. Indo Arabic mehndi designs

7. Indo Western mehndi designs

8. African mehndi designs

These days we came across some changing styles and the finger mehndi design is the new one to look for. This style is for all age groups and with aesthetic vibrance from minimal to heavy design, it adds another highlight to the artist's impression. The diversity in Indian culture makes everyone pious to follow the rituals and know their importance. If you are wondering, why we apply mehndi on all festivals or occasions and what it brings to us, then the answer is very simple: it brings happiness, calmness, and good luck to one’s life.  Here are some fascinating finger mehndi designs for your upcoming ceremonies.
