Three: Body Type// Henna

Delhi in the monsoon is a muse for poetry and metaphor for romance: nestling green parrots, dancing peacocks, swinging jhoolas and much light-hearted dalliance in rain-washed gardens. The sensuality of the season comes to a head at Hariyali Teej, when girls dress up, adorn themselves with henna and sing songs.

As an ode to the long-awaited first monsoon rain, we used henna to write traditional Malhar, Kajri and Sawan song lyrics in fluid devanagari calligraphy.

TypeOut 2: Petrichor

Petrichor is a word for the scent of rain on parched ground after a hot dry spell. As a petition to the rain-gods for respite, we stencilled it in water on Delhi’s heated roads, watching as it evaporated.
