Navratri is one of the most widely celebrated Hindu festivals that is observed with great enthusiasm and devotion across India. Navratri means ‘nine nights’ is a festival that honours the divine feminism energy or Shakti, in her nine manifestations. Each day is devoted to one of the nine forms of Goddess Durga, representing different virtues such as strength, compassion, wisdom, and protection. Sharad Navratri 2024 starts on October 3 and ends on October 12. Navratri also means celebrating Garba nights with traditional attire and intricate henna designs. During Navratri, women adorn their hands with beautiful mehndi designs to complement their traditional outfits and enhance their festive looks.

The celebration of Navratri is rooted in the epic battle between Goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasura, symbolising the victory of good over evil. Mehendi is a symbol of beauty, joy and cultural heritage. During Navratri, applying mehndi is believed to bring good fortune and add to the celebration’s auspicious nature. The deep stain of mehendi represents love and prosperity and many believe it strengthens the connection with Goddess Durga. As Navratri is a time for prayers, fasting, and celebration, women across India enhance their beauty rituals with the artistic touch of henna. You can adorn your hand with Devi Durga motifs and minimalistic mehendi designs such as small flowers, geometric patterns, mandala designs, and others. Take a look at some of the intricate mehendi designs.
