Beautiful Eid Dotwork Mehndi Design for Back Hand

A delicate eid mehndi design tailored for the back of the hand, featuring petal arrangement and peacock motif. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for everyday.

Skin on the back of the hand is thinner than the palm, so the stain is usually lighter and fades sooner. Leaving the paste on for longer helps the colour develop. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

On Chaand Raat, women and girls gather at home or visit market stalls where artists apply quick designs late into the night. Because many people get their mehndi done in one evening, Eid designs are usually quicker and lighter than bridal ones.

Application tips: Apply Eid mehndi the evening before so the stain has time to darken by morning. Choose a design you can finish in one sitting; a single trail or tikki takes 15 to 30 minutes per hand.
