Indian Mehndi

                                                   Indian Mehndi
Indian mehandi is unique because it covers most of the hands with intricate designs. Be it flower motifs, mango shapes or religious symbols, Indian Mehandi Designs / Henna Designs have them all.

Indian women apply mehandi / henna on almost all important occasions, it is their way of celebrating and feeling special.

Here are most beautiful Mehandi Designs / Henna Designs to inspire you

Indian-Mehandi-Design Truly,  a quintessential Indian Mehandi Design. The elephants on the top of the design symbolize prosperity. Both the hands differ from each other, but each is beautiful with its floral design, which gives way to a more channeled mehandi design towards the palm. Some space has been left along the floral design, but it doesn’t separate it from the rest of the mehandi design. Instead, it sort of brings about more of a connection.

Indian-Mehandi-DesignThis is an extremely carefully applied Indian Mehandi Design. Note how both the hands are exactly the same, because of the flawless symmetry. Peacocks have been drawn on both the palms. Peacocks are a common yet essential design in Indian Mehandi Designs. They symbolize beauty, and grace. A distance is kept from the peacock design to where it begins again near the fingers. This is done to bring more attention towards the peacock motif.

Indian-Mehandi-Design This design is a very ethnic Rajasthani style Indian Mehandi / Henna Designs. It depicts the bride and groom on each palm. It reflects the essence of an Indian Mehandi design, which by now, you must have learnt, is filling the hand with motifs, and designs. Note the intricacy by which the mehandi has been applied. It uses small semi-circular areas, filled with a diagonal crossing lines, or trumpet shaped designs.

Indian-Mehandi-Design No Indian wedding is complete without songs, and dance. This is a bridal mehandi style. It is very simple, yet clean and attractive. The palm has been adorned with a betel leaf design along with “tablas”-traditional instruments used in weddings. The ascending design on the fingers (from the arrow finger to the little finger) only further enhances its beauty.

Indian-Mehandi-Design A Mehandi design such as this, is concentrated on using floral patterns. The whole hand is covered in extremely clean, and clear floral motifs, further accentuated with the way the floral pattern has been allowed to extend from the wrist to the elbow, with clarity.

Justifying the notion that an Indian Mehandi Design is extremely “full”, this Mehandi Design covers most of the part of the arm up till the elbow. It has a beautiful motif of Lord Ganesha, and wedding band instruments, adorning the top part of the design. A hint of Rajasthani Mehandi style has also been used, where a picture of a bride and groom, has been made on each palm.

A very symmetrical design, one hand reflects the mirror image of the other. Thus, it makes a complete picture when put together. Small flowers fill the semi-circular spaces, and a betel leaf design tops the design, which is filled with diamond shapes, and it itself is outlined with an intricate design.

Indian-Mehandi-Design
This again is a Rajasthani design. It covers most of the hand, as well as the legs. While the design on the legs has some negative spaces, to enhance the design on the foot, and towards the knee, the hand doesn’t use the same principle. The hands use a floral pattern, but are not the same.

Indian-Mehandi-Design
This is a very typically Indian design. It is dominated by designs of flowers, is extremely intricate, and leaves ample empty or negative spaces around. Very Indian, very beautiful.

This henna design is beautiful in every way. The triangular shapes filled with tiny floral designs enhance the beauty of the whole mehandi. Truly, that is the highlight. Going down in a simple leaf pattern towards the wrist, the mehendi / henna design again envelopes itself in an intricate design, incorporating a floral and “mango” motif.

Indian Mehandi Design
This mehndi design is unique because it gives a favorable twist to the “betel leaf” motif. It uses the betel leaf motif, on the palm, with some curves, which are further enhanced by a small leafy pattern. It is dominated by designs inspired by patterns of leaves, evident by the negative space, filled by a leaf branch design, and extensions of motifs made by leafy patterns.

Indian Mehandi Design
Who doesn’t want  a little bling on their wedding day? This mehendi for the feet satisfies that very wish. It’s a Marwari style mehendi, and very modern. It uses colors such as Golden and Silver, which are a new favorite, among mehendi colors. It is a very simple, sophisticated pattern, yet spells so much elegance. It also uses some kundan stones along the design, which only further add to its elegance.

As the picture portrays, it is a very Indian Bridal look. The mehendi’s natural greenish brown color,is used to make an outline, which allows the red color to further expose itself. If you notice, the mehendi has not used a very intricate design, but a rather simple one-that of a floral pattern. Yet on first look, it catches the eye. Perfect mehendi for a bride-to be.

Another mehendi design for the feet. The spiral pattern on the toes, beautify the concept of the mehandi. The stones further add to its gorgeousness. If a bride has to have mehendi put on her feet.

Indian Mehandi Design
Yet another symmetrical mehandi design. The mehandi starts with a repetitive pattern from the fingers, which continues along the palm, till the wrist. Near the wrist it dissolves into a peacock pattern, which is beautifully extended along the hand, and is assisted by a pattern of leaves and stars, separated by the same design which was used on the palm. This brings about a continuation and makes the mehandi look connected, from the tip of the fingers, where it starts, to the part of the hand, where it ends.

Indian Mehandi Design
This is a much simpler pattern. It uses a peacock design spaced from the rest, by a negative space, slightly filled by simple flowers. A crown style betel leaf is used, to extend the mehandi towards the hand, and end it.

The very intricate design of this mehandi tells us that is a typical Indian design! We must appreciate it for its clarity. The mehandi design doesn’t get jumbled up, but is extremely clear. Credit for this must go to the diamond design near the wrist. It gives the design an openness, yet keeps the entire pattern connected.

Indian Mehandi Design
A matching Marwari style mehandi design, for the feet and hands. Even though the mehandi is concentrated to one side of the hand or feet, the mehandi is just as beautiful. There is a use of stones, which enhance its quality. A curvy floral pattern is used too= fill the sides intricately.

Indian Mehandi Design
This is a very simple mehandi pattern.  Extremely clear, and beautiful. The circular pattern which extends from the arrow finger till a part of the hand, is made to bend along the hand, to add a shape to the design. In no way, is the design flat. An open floral pattern is maintained along the design.
