The sacred festival of Hartalika Teej holds deep cultural significance for married women, who observe fasts for the long life and well-being of their husbands and adorn themselves in full traditional attire. Among all elements of marital embellishment, intricate henna patterns applied on hands occupy a central place. As the festival approaches, commercial hubs across the Palamu district are witnessing a surge in festive preparations. Women are flocking to local parlors and specialized artist stalls to decorate their hands with contemporary and traditional patterns. This season, Rajasthani, Marwari, Arabic, and bridal henna motifs are seeing exceptionally high demand among local residents.

Located beneath the City Style Mall in Medininagar, the district headquarters of Palamu, Pankaj Mehendi & Tattoo Artist has been serving clients for the past eight years.
