Arabic designs are less intricate than Indian designs

with more focus on the palms. With floral patterns and
leaf designs, these are easier to put and cost
comparatively lesser than the intricate India designs.

According to Mohsina, it takes an average of one hour

to put henna for one client. This can vary according to
the design chosen and the area of hand that needs to
be covered.

years of practice.

Apart from staining the skin a beautiful reddish-

orange color, henna also has some medicinal
properties. Henna leaves are dried, powdered and
