Bakrid 2024 will be observed on Sunday, June 16. It is also known as Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice and is one of the most important Islamic festivals celebrated by Muslims around the world. On Bakrid, the tradition of applying Mehndi, or henna, holds special significance, particularly among women. It's a time when families come together to celebrate, and part of the festivities includes adorning hands and feet with intricate Mehndi designs. These designs often feature elaborate patterns and motifs, ranging from floral elements to geometric shapes, and sometimes include depictions of animals or Islamic symbols. The application of Mehndi is not only a form of artistic expression but also a way to enhance the beauty of celebrants during this auspicious occasion. As you observe Bakrid 2024, we at LatestLY have compiled a collection of mehndi designs that you can try for the important Islamic festival.

Bakrid commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Isma'il (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to God's command. However, before the sacrifice could take place, Allah provided a ram to be sacrificed instead. This event symbolises faith, obedience, and submission to the divine will. On this day, Muslims gather for special prayers at mosques, where the imam delivers sermons emphasising the significance of sacrifice, charity, and compassion towards others. Following the prayers, families come together to enjoy festive meals and exchange gifts. Here is a wide range of mehndi designs you can try on your hands and feet for Bakrid 2024.

It's a time of bonding and celebration, where women come together to embrace their cultural heritage and express their creativity through the art of Mehndi. The intricate designs symbolise beauty, grace, and the spirit of unity that permeates the Bakrid celebrations.
