thatindianlady (70) in art • 7 years ago (edited)

Hello steemit friends,

Last night i did Mehandi on my mom's hand. Mehandi is kind of henna tatoos on hand. It is considered very ausipicious in india when ladies put it on their hands at various festivals.

So today is KARVA CHAUTH( a kind of fast), in which married woman do not eat anything till end of day when they see moon and open their fast and eat. This is done to wish for long life of her husband. Some men also do this for their woman, contradictory, the number is less.

Here is bit of close up :

This is for @kid4life's amazing talent challenge , here is the link, have a look :
