It seems like you're referring to **"Mehndi (Henna) Designs on Hands"**, a popular cultural art form in Pakistan. Here's a concise guide for exams or personal knowledge:

### **Mehndi Designs (مہندی ڈیزائن) - Short Notes**  
1. **Types**:  
   - **Traditional Pakistani**: Paisley (کیرل), floral patterns, bridal full-hand designs.  
   - **Arabic**: Bold outlines with less filling.  
   - **Modern**: Geometric shapes, minimalistic lines.

2. **Application**:  
   - Use fresh henna paste in a cone (like icing a cake).  
   - Dry for 2-3 hours; darker stain = longer paste stay.

3. **Exam Tip**:  
   - For **Art/Culture** papers, focus on *symbolism* (e.g., paisley = fertility).

**Need steps to draw a simple design?** Try this:  
1. Draw a circle (palm center).  
2. Add petals around it.  
3. Connect with vines to fingers.
