Indo-Arabic Mehendi Designs: Style Guide & Booking

Where indo-arabic mehendi comes from

Mumbai artists popularised the fusion for brides who wanted the richness of Indian bridal mehendi without the six-hour sitting. A dense Indian mandala or motif usually anchors the palm while Arabic trails carry the design to the fingers and wrist.

How to recognise indo-arabic mehendi

• Dense Indian centrepiece with Arabic trails around it
• Mix of thick outlines and fine fillers
• Partial coverage that still looks bridal
• Flexible - easy to scale up or down
