A must for any fan of South Asian culture and beautiful, intricate body art. A fine new art calendar from Flame Tree.

Mehndi, or 'Henna Tattoo', is an ancient body art form widespread throughout South Asia and known for its intricate beauty, especially popular for special occasions such as weddings and festivals. Traditionally applied using a paste made from powdered henna leaves, which naturally and temporarily dyes the skin, many people are now creating stunning designs using body paint in white or other shades. This gorgeous calendar showcases 12 images of the style as used in myriad ways on hands, providing fabulous aesthetic inspiration for every month of the year. The datepad features previous and next month’s views. Printed on FSC-certified paper, with plastic-free packaging.
