Charming Foot Checkered Fill Mehndi Design for Front Hand

A delicate foot mehndi design tailored for the palm, featuring mandala and bracelet cuff. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Teej.

The palm has the thickest skin on the hand, so henna stains darkest here. Keep the hand open and relaxed while the paste dries so the lines do not crack or smudge. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

In South Asian and many Arab weddings, the bride's feet are decorated with henna along with her hands. The soles of the feet, like the palms, have thick skin and take a very dark stain.

Application tips: Do not walk until the paste is fully dry; keep slippers and a towel within reach before you start. Exfoliate the feet a day before, since dry skin sheds quickly and takes the stain with it.
