The subtext is astounding. The art is beautiful.

The(ir) Blurb...

In between the mandalas and paisleys on the lines and pores of the bride-to-be's palms, a Mehndi applicator finds a space for herself. Belonging to a culture where there is no room to even think about one's identity, let alone question it, Kiran faces a wave of emotions. She knows nothing can be changed drastically in her life and small unnoticeable footprints are all that she leaves.
