Mehendi is obtained by drying the leaves of the mehendi plant and then pulverizing them. This powder is then made into a paste, which is used to make intricate designs on the body. The leaves give a wonderful rich brown colour, a lovely fragrance and, in addition, have a cooling property.
As with any art form, applying mehendi requires patience and practice. Vishakha Agrawal who lives on the UT campus is an expert in this art form. She has exhibited her art in Enschede on various occasions and is esteemed for her stunning and intricate designs.
