Rakhi, also known as Raksha Bandhan, is a popular Hindu festival celebrated in India and some other South Asian countries. It’s a special day to commemorate the bond between brothers and sisters. The word “rakhi” itself translates to “a bond of protection.”
Before the festival, sisters typically shop for a rakhi, which is a decorative thread or bracelet, often adorned with beads, stones, and other embellishments. They may also buy sweets, gifts, and sometimes even clothes for their brothers, and apply henna or mehendi.
A unique mehendi video is going viral, however, with a payment scanner. Watch the viral video here.

QR code mehendi takes the internet by storm

A video showing a QR code being painted on a woman’s hand using mehendi has become popular on the internet in an age where digital convenience meets tradition.
This one-of-a-kind mehendi design was meticulously designed for a rakhi celebration, putting a digital spin on the traditional exchange of presents between siblings.
As part of the ritual, brothers often give their sisters ‘sagan’ (gift) money. Instead of handing over tangible currency, the brother can just scan the QR code painted on the sister’s hand to transfer the sagan digitally, thanks to the updated concept integrated into this particular mehendi.

But hold your horses before you run to your nearest mehendi artist and request one of these designs to surprise your brother.
A mehendi artisan named Yash shared the footage on Instagram. It has piqued the interest of many users, who have been amazed by this novel notion that seamlessly blends art, tradition, and technology.
However, it is stated in the movie that the QR code is not functional and is only used for entertainment purposes. “It’s just some edited content.” To make it more authentic, I recorded a purchase transaction screen with my mehndi video. The Mehndi QR code cannot be used for payment,” the message added.
Do you know the history of henna? The history of henna, also known as mehendi, dates back thousands of years and has cultural and artistic significance in various parts of the world, particularly in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
The use of henna as a cosmetic and dye can be traced back to ancient Egypt, around 5,000 years ago. Egyptian mummies have been found with henna-stained skin and nails, suggesting its early usage.
Henna has been a significant part of various cultures for centuries. It is used in celebrations, weddings, festivals, and other special occasions as a form of adornment and art.
Henna has deep roots in South Asian cultures, particularly in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is an integral part of weddings and festive celebrations. Applying intricate henna designs to the hands and feet of brides is a common tradition, symbolizing beauty, joy, and auspiciousness.
Henna is also widely used in Middle Eastern cultures, where it holds similar cultural and traditional importance. In these regions, henna is often applied during religious festivals and celebrations.
