“Sacred adornment”
Henna, also known as Mehndi, is an Ancient Art form with roots dating back over 5,000 years. Originating in regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.
Henna is a symbol of celebration, beauty, and spiritual significance.
Traditionally, henna paste is made from the powdered leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis).
