Some people did business in a small square. Their business was to draw Mehndi, a form of body art. The eye on the hand is 'Eye of Fatima', amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. It is believed that the eye has power guarding against the evil eye. Fatima was a daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad from his first wife Khadija. And she is regarded by Muslims as an exemplar for men and women.
Anyway, I thought it was difficult to go about daily life with the Mehndi on the palm.
