Eid 2024: Try These Simple, Beautiful and Easy Mehndi Designs for Festive Celebrations

The sacred month of Ramadan, during which people fast, comes to a close on Eid al-Fitr. It is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Muslim (lunar) calendar. Muslims throughout the world observe the festival at distinct times since it doesn’t begin unless the new moon is sighted. India will celebrate Eid al-Fitr on April 11. However, Kerala and Ladakh will celebrate Eid on Wednesday, as the Shawwal moon was sighted on Tuesday.

In South Asian traditions, especially in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the eve of Eid is referred to as Chand Raat. The festivities begin as soon as the new moon is visible. The application of mehndi (henna) on the hands is one ritual that enhances the celebrations of Eid. Here are some eye-catching patterns you might like, along with a selection of both basic and intricate designs.

While basic designs are popular, if you enjoy wearing henna, you may definitely try for something more elaborate. This unique pattern covers every inch of your hand and wrist and pairs well with ethnic clothes. It will give you a classy look while keeping its traditional vibe intact.

If you don’t like heavy designs but want to look festive this Eid, this is the one you should try. The back of the palm is embellished with flowery designs, delicate strokes, and leaves, while the design on the fingers looks like a continuation of the broader theme. Choose a ring or nail colour to complete the look.

Adore florals but prefer a minimal henna on your hands. Most women these days like simple, minimalist designs to highlight their hands and elevate the overall ensemble. This delicate pattern is great for special occasions when you don’t want to overindulge but still want to keep the holiday spirit alive.

This design will give your hands an elegant appearance. It appears to have full coverage on the palm up until the wrist. It can help you get rid of a few jewellery items. It combines numerous mandala motifs with elaborate patterns.

For someone who enjoys traditional designs, this is an excellent choice. This simply covers the palm and has a conventional appearance, leaving the rest of the hand free to be accessorised with varied jewellery. While the design offers less coverage, it provides an artistic flair.
