‘Eid is incomplete without Henna’; the tradition of applying Henna on Eid
Eid al-Adha is one of the joyful Islamic occasions celebrated among people with happiness, solidarity, and family gatherings. During the days and nights of Eid, people prepare to create lasting and memorable moments in their lives. Among them are women who spend Eid nights baking cookies and ‘Roghan joshi’ before decorating their hands with Henna –a lasting tradition that still remains an essential part of the beauty and spirit of Eid in many Afghan households.
