The art of Henna — It's also called Mehandi in Hindi and Urdu. It has been practiced in Pakistan, India, Africa, and the Middle East for over 5000 years. It was originally used for its natural cooling properties for the people living in hot desert climates. Henna is made at home by soaking henna powder in water and keeping it overnight. The mixture of fresh powder is green in color and the old powder may be slightly brown. The mixture is then applied tothe desired area of the body and left untouched for a few hours. When the paste is washed off, it leaves a beautiful orange-brown design that fades in a few days. Me, Samidha, - I am post graduate in commerce. Ever since I was a child, I have been interested in making henna. As I got older, I became more and more interested in it. After that, I did henna Professional Course. I started getting a lot of orders because no festival would be complete without Henna. For three days at the Veg fest Festival I will be there to make your own henna tattoo and to make you feel special.
