Eid Mehndi Designs: Background and Style
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. 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.
Common motifs
- crescent moon and star
- florals
- paisleys
- trailing vines
- round tikki mandala
- decorated fingertips
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.
- Keep the paste on overnight if you can, wrapping the hand loosely so the design does not smudge while you sleep.
