History of Mehendi
What is Mehendi
: Mehendi a small tropical shrub, whose leaves when dried and ground into a paste, give out a rusty-red pigment, suitable for making intricate designs on the palms and feet. The dye has a cooling property and no side effects on the skin. In the 17th century India, the barber's wife was usually employed for applying henna on women. Most women from that time in India are depicted with their hands and feet.
