Mehndi a sister puts on the evening before Raksha Bandhan, often with the rakhi drawn into the design. The three designs are a back-hand with a rakhi band of beads round the wrist, a front-hand with a sister and brother under an arch in the palm, and a simple back-hand trail of flowers. Each is drawn in traditional fine line, bold Arabic strokes or jewellery-style chains. Type a different motif to draw it in the same styles.

Frequently asked questions

Are the designs shown on a hand?
Yes. Each design is drawn on the hand, shown as the back or the front as named.
Which style has the most open space?
The Arabic style, with thick confident strokes tracing large flowers and leaf trails and open space between them.
What is the jewellery style?
A haath phool design drawn as fine chains and rings linking each finger to a bracelet at the wrist.
Can I ask for a different design?
Yes. Type the motif or hand you want, such as a foot design, and the same three styles draw it. The nine shown are the samples.

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.
