Henna(Mehendi) 헤나

   In 2018 again I had visited Jeju Island (제주도) for Indian Film Festival and I was asked to run the Henna booth. They had prepared four beautiful henna designs. People coming to watch the movies could choose among the designs and I was supposed to draw it on their palm or places on their hand where they wanted it. 

I also gave them the option to write their names in Hindi with Henna and many liked it. It was a hit! 

Even small kids came to get henna drawn on their hands and took pictures with me. It was a nice experience for me as I could meet many Koreans interested in India. 

The only instance that made me uncomfortable was when a guy came and asked me to draw on his neck. I was baffled at that moment and tried to look away so as not to show my facial expression to that guy. Now I can sit and laugh at it. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ(Korean way of laughing)

Another visitor made a painting and presented it to me. 

He said that the Tibetan colorful flags are represented in the art. I don't know whether it contains other meanings related to Tibet. Anyway I was happy to get such a beautiful piece of artwork.
