Mandala mehndi design: lotus mandala, geometric mandala, half mandala

The round motif at the center of so much mehndi, which many people now wear on its own. The designs are a mandala built on an open lotus with three rings of petals, a geometric mandala of nested triangles and squares inside a ring of dots, and a half mandala meant for the edge of the palm. Type a subject of your own, such as a sun or a square, and the mandala is drawn with it as a request.

• a centerpiece for the palm
• a single round design on the back of the hand
• a ring of smaller mandalas
• a tracing or stencil reference

Frequently asked questions

Are these drawn on a hand?

No. They are flat mandalas on white, offered as a reference for the palm, the back of the hand, or a ring of smaller ones.

What is the difference between the styles?

Bold black uses thick outlines and a few large shapes, fine detail packs each ring with fine line work, and henna brown shows the reddish stroke of dried henna.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type a subject of your own and the mandala is drawn with it, as a request rather than a fixed result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
