Refined Rajasthani Lotus Pattern Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A traditional rajasthani mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring paisley and feather stroke. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for a wedding.

Full-hand designs run from the fingertips to the wrist, so allow extra time for application. Work from the wrist towards the fingers, or the other way round, so you never rest on wet paste. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Designs often include figures such as a bride and groom, peacocks and elephants. Mirrored designs, where the two hands form one picture when held together, are a hallmark of the style.

Application tips: Wash and dry the skin before application and skip lotion or oil, which block the dye. Keeping the skin warm while the paste is on helps the colour develop.
