In the Hindu tradition, makeup and body art are seen as a form of margi, or a "spiritual path" that can help liberate the soul.

Henna is a body art practice that serves to calm the nerves and reduce stress. When drawing henna, feel free to use designs that are spiritually significant to you. Common designs include flowers (especially lotus flowers), tendrils, leaves and vines, crisscross patterns, spirals, and water drops.

You can use traditional henna paste, or even just markers do make the designs.
