Arabic Mehndi


Arabic Mehndi Definition

Source(google.com.pk)

Arabic mehndi tradition can be defined as a less detailed design in the world of mehndi. Unlike the Indian and Pakistani mehndi designs Arabic ones do not point a large pattern on the palm center, rather the mehndi patterns include remarkable blank spaces within them. Expanding widely on the palm or hand’s back or on upper fit this mehndi pattern takes an elegant look.

The most notable aspect of Arabic mehndi designs is that they never include any living being’s image such as human figure, peacocks, birds, etc. as in Indian and Pakistani designs. Instead, Arabic leaves, vines, flowers and various types of floral and calligraphic drawings are done in this style. Some historians believe that mehndi tradition was brought to the Indian sub continent by the Muslims. So there is also an influence of Arabic style in Indian and Pakistani mehndi designs. Muslim weddings as well as festivals like Eid-ul-Fitre, Eid-ul-Adha, etc. are unimaginable without mehndi on ladies’ hands and as well as legs. Arabic mehndi designs for hand emphasize on the darkening of the color. For enriching the brightness of mehnd chemicals and other herbal elements are mixed with mehndi paste. But the single thing which is the most effective for this purpose is the lemon juice.
