"Some distance away, at the Indian Henna Art Centre in Abu Dhabi, which is known for traditional designs, Neelima Lavana seats her clients, succinctly instructing the artists working under her to get down to business with practiced precision. Started in 1984, when Emirati women had a greater predilection for mehendi than they do today, the Indian Henna Art Centre may well have seen the glory days of the art form with Lavana’s loyal roster of clients flocking to the salon at least once every two weeks."
