Henna designs can be characterised into various types, such as Arabic, Indian, and Pakistani designs. Not only this, it is a common variant in countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Mehndi is normally applied on festive occasions, like weddings, religious affairs, and traditional ceremonies. The brides to be are extremely busy deciding on their wedding dress and jewellery. Not to forget that a bridal look remains incomplete without the application of henna on their palms.
The earliest clear affirmation of the henna application on the body appears in Egyptian mummies whose hair and nails were tinted with the reddish brown tones of henna. You will be surprised to know that henna patterns or designs became very much in fashion in the West in the late 1990s, where they were famously known as henna tattoos. For many people, the notion of a ‘tattoo’ is something is made of permanent ink, but well it doesn’t go that way here. Henna Tattoo is figurative because, in this case, it is a case of the pigment resting on the surface of the skin and not injected inside.
