This is Henna paste applied and dried .... it is known as Mehndi ... it is an art
very popular during weddings.
Mehndi is the art of applying Henna on the body. It is a beautiful form of temporary body decoration. Mehndi is a traditional form of decoration for both men and women in countries such as India, Morocco, and Pakistan. It is generally used for special occasions, particularly weddings. Henna is heat sensitive. The warmer the skin, the longer-lasting the dye. The stain lasts longest on the palm of the hand. It fades gracefully. Mehndi usually stays on the body for fifteen to twenty days, varying with the body heat of each individual.
