We don’t want to be biased but it cannot be denied that the charm of this beautiful style is incomparable. Indian mehndi designs are elaborate and condensed at the same time. The detailing is close to finesse and every element of the design holds great meaning.

Like the name suggests this type has its origins in the Arab world. This mehndi design is vastly different than its Indian counterpart. Arabic mehendi designs which are more spread out, largely feature cashew patterns and a lot of shading.

Fusion is a great way of bringing the best of two worlds together and the Indo Arabic Mehndi designs for hands are pretty good examples of fusion brought to fruition. These fusion mehndi designs are a showcase of the best of Indian and Arabic designs. Indo Arabic mehndi designs for hands often feature a pairing of Indian floral patterns and birds with Arabic cashew and shading.

Coming from the same region there are many similarities between the Indian and Pakistani Mehndi design. However this particular design does not feature traditional Hindu elements like the Bride, groom and Kalash which are replaced by Domes,Flowers and Leaf like patterns Like indian mehndi, Pakistani mehndi design features mandala patterns too, although not as frequently.This style is also greatly influenced by the arabic designs.

Mehandi is an exotic piece of admiration for the western world, a medium of creativity even. This fascination for the desi mehndi has resulted in the birth of Henna tattoos in the west.

This is another fusion. But Hey! We are not complaining at all. The Indo western mehndi design is a mix of the east and west. This style of mehndi like the western mehndi is usually just worn as a style statement and is far from what traditional mehndi designs are like. This mehndi design is quite spaced out and features modern patterns along with traditional Indian designs.

This type of mehendi design is inspired by traditional tribal symbols and patterns. Moroccan mehndi designs look a lot like western tribal tattoo art because of their zig-zag lines, geometric curves and quirky aesthetics. Diamond shapes in particular are a prominent feature. Unlike indian mehndi designs the moroccan are not too elaborate but extremely beautiful without a doubt. These designs are not as feminine as the others and their androgyny makes them a popular choice among men who sport them as Henna tattoos.
