Henna – Mandhi

For special occasion the females decorate their hands, and sometimes their feet, with henna paint (Mandhi in Indian, note that I don’t know how to spell it). Nisha, Preety (the sisters from the neighbouring family) and Fiona did it on Eloise, Kitty and me one evening. It was really cool, and it stays on for about 2 weeks. We decided to sleep with the crisp on, apparently it stays on for a longer time, but it wasn’t exactly pleasant to sleep with. But hey; no pain no gain, right?
