Popular designs for Durga Ashtami include the Lotus Alta Design featuring a large flower on the palm or foot, the Bengali Alpana style with curved lines and petals, the Mandala design with a central circle, and simple fingertip applications.
To ensure your alta lines remain neat and sharp, use an earbud or fine brush during application. Letting it dry for a few minutes and keeping it away from water will help maintain its brightness throughout the day.
