Henna (art)

Henna art, also known as Mehndi, is a traditional form of body decoration using a natural dye made from the henna plant. The dye is applied in intricate patterns on the skin, often on hands and feet, for special occasions like weddings and festivals. The dye stains the skin temporarily, creating detailed designs that can last from days to weeks. Henna art has deep cultural significance across many regions, especially in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, blending artistic expression with cultural identity and celebration.
