Mehndi (also written mehendi or mehandi) is the art of decorating hands and feet with henna paste. Today people search for everything from simple mehndi designs they can do at home, to bold Arabic mehndi, to detailed bridal dulhan mehndi that takes hours.
On this site designs are grouped by hand (front, back, full hand, fingers, feet), by style and by occasion such as Karwa Chauth and baby shower. Every design page lists the difficulty, the time it takes and the artist.
Quick tip for a dark stain
- Apply on clean, dry skin – no cream.
- Leave the paste on for 6–8 hours.
- Scrape it off – don't wash – and avoid water for 12 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Which mehndi design is best for beginners?
Start with a round mandala in the palm or a diagonal vine on the back of the hand – both use only dots, petals and curves.
How can I make my mehndi darker?
Leave the paste on for 6–8 hours, seal it with lemon and sugar, keep your hands warm and avoid water for 12 hours after removing it.
Is mehndi the same as mehendi or mehandi?
Yes – mehndi, mehendi and mehandi are different spellings of the same Hindi/Urdu word for henna body art.
Can I download these mehndi designs?
You can save any design to your phone or Pinterest for personal practice. Please keep the artist credit if you share it.
