Take a look at these mehendi design ideas.
Karva Chauth is a major festival in North India when married women hold nirjala fast, without food or water from sunrise to moonrise. They break the fast only after seeing the moon. On this day, married women pray to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Traditionally, women have celebrated Karva Chauth to pray for the long life of their husbands. This year, the festival is on October 24.
Women wear new clothes, gather near a water body or on the terrace as they wait for the moon to appear on the night sky. A prominent feature of this festival is mehendi, which women apply on their hands.
The mehendi paste is made up of henna leaves, which are known for their medicinal qualities. While applying mehendi is one of the oldest forms of art, artists have now taken it to new levels, drawing spectacular patterns on the hands of women.
Here are 10 patterns that you can use for Karva Chauth this year:
