Mehndi Henna Hand Art

Mehndi is very common in India. It is when henna is applied to the skin as a form of decoration. It tends to last for about a week to 10 days and is applied at weddings and during festivals. It is an art form and takes about 30 minutes to apply and looks beautiful when the henna dries and peels off leaving the stain.

The girl that worked in our ashram applied it for myself and Lolly for 100rs.
