Henna, or mehendi, is one of the most beautiful and fun parts of the Teej festival that kids enjoy!
- The complicated patterns and motifs make beautiful art on hands and feet. Having mehendi put on during Teej is like having temporary tattoos that are safe and natural.
- Kids love to watch the talented mehendi artists make beautiful designs with the reddish-brown henna paste.
-There are basic flowers and leaves, as well as more complicated geometric patterns and peacock themes. For kids, artists make simple motifs like little flowers, hearts, stars, or their initials.
- These easy designs are great for kids and don't take long to finish. Older kids may choose more complicated designs with vines, paisleys, mandalas, or even cartoon figures. Putting on mehendi is like doing art.
- The artist meticulously creates lovely designs with a cone full of henna paste as the kids sit quietly. The paste is chilly and tickly on the skin, which makes kids laugh and have even more fun.
- Children must wait for the mehendi to dry fully once it has been put on. This helps kids learn to be patient and control themselves.
-They learn to be cautious not to mess up their lovely drawings as the henna dries. The design appears better the darker the final colour becomes.
- Kids commonly have "mehendi parties" where they use safe, washable mehendi markers to draw basic patterns on one another's hands. They make friendship patterns, write each other's names, or draw their favourite symbols together.
The custom educates kids about Indian art, culture, and the role of beautification routines in festivals. A lot of kids become very into mehendi.
