Henna Designs

Henna is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Mendhika’. Hindu Vedic texts reveal that it was a custom to use Mehendi before an important religious ritual.

Mehendi is the local name for henna designs in the Indian subcontinent since the idea of using henna to decorate hands originated in Arabia.

A detailed study of history reveals that henna was used in the Arab world for more than five thousand years.

The woman not only used henna to decorate their hands and feet with intricate design. They also used it to ward off evil, bring good luck and prosperity to their homes.

The Muslim tradition and religion make the use of henna compulsory.
