Mehndi is the art of having one's hands, arms, backs, and feet painted in beautiful henna patterns. This ancient bridal ritual is still practiced traditionally in india, africa, and the middle east. It is now becoming a popular alternative to tattoos in western culture. Unlike a tattoo, it is completely painless and lasts only a few weeks. This beautiful photograph-filled book is both a practical guide and a stunning tribute.
