Majestic Eid Geometric Grid Mehndi Design for Back Hand

A refined eid mehndi design tailored for the back of the hand, featuring star cluster and swirl. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for a party.

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.

In South Asia, mehndi is traditionally applied on Chaand Raat, the night before Eid, when the new moon is sighted. Mehndi is worn for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as part of dressing up for the celebration.

Application tips: Keep the paste on overnight if you can, wrapping the hand loosely so the design does not smudge while you sleep. Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain.
