Mehndi Design Idea 1.4 [free]

If you ever attend an Indian wedding then you might notice the beautiful tattoos adorning the bride's hands. These intricate and often floral motifs are part of the Indian culture that symbolize joy, good luck, health and positive vibes and are popularly known as "mehndi" or "henna" in Western countries. The henna paste used comes from natural Hawsonia shrubs. The twigs and leaves are ground to make fine powder which are then mixed with water to form the paste. Today, the mehndi designs are no longer exclusively done for weddings or festivals as one can have it done even without an occasion. Mehndi Design Types • The motifs and designs of the Mehndi differ depending on a person's cultural background. The oldest form of Mehndi is the Mughlai design which is distinct among other types as every single curl pattern and dot is emphasized boldly. Every design is meticulous and neatly done showcasing the pattern in a distinctive manner. • An Indian design for example can be easily identified by its complex patterns of flowers, curls, curves with the figure of a peacock or a big dot in the center of the palm. The person's fingertips are also usually covered with henna designs. Popular designs also include curling vines, teardrop shapes and paisley patterns. • Another type of Mehndi is the Arabic designs which are distinguished with the use of floral arabesques in geometric patterns. The designs are simpler by nature often depicting nature such as leaves and flowers and since the designs are not filled up, it is usually preferred as they dry faster than other design types. • The Moroccan designs are similar to the Arabic pattern but more geometric by nature. The Moroccan style is also different in that designs often have symbolic meanings and are3 used as a protection against evil. Last but not the least is the Pakistani design.
