Chand mehndi designs

The crescent moon has a deep spiritual significance in the Muslim community. Your mehndi designs can include crescent moon motifs, or for a more cohesive style, consider moon and style designs. You can add a lantern as well to the design, along with the crescent moon.

Minimalist designs

If large, spread-out designs aren’t your style, consider minimalist mehndi, which features delicate swirls, fine vine patterns, or sleek geometric shapes. This is a fun way to keep your mehndi design fun yet understated. Minimalist designs look good, especially on the back of the hand.

Mandala mehndi designs

Mandala mehndi designs include a circular and symmetrical pattern. It features heavy detailing but keeps a balance with the designs. Typically, the designs are maximalist, featuring ornate circular or even geometric patterns.

Floral mehndi designs

There's a lot to explore in floral designs, from big leafy patterns to floral accents. If you are looking for maximalist designs, big floral mehndi designs are perfect, as they are attractive without appearing too overwhelming.

For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point.

On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
