Answer 1

Mehndi designs are made using powdered leaves from the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis). The leaves are dried and ground into a fine powder, which is then mixed with water, lemon juice, or other ingredients to create a paste that can be applied to the skin. Once it dries, it leaves a reddish-brown stain on the skin.
