Susan Alunkal, a Marquette University student from India, uses a technique called mehndie to dress up the hand of fellow student Caterina Imperiale. Mehndie is the artistic application of henna, a type of herb, to a woman's hands before her wedding. It is common throughout India and Pakistan and has its origins in Islam. The herb leaves a stain after it dries. The artistic demonstration was part of an International day celebration Friday at Marquette University Alumni Memorial Union.
