Mehndi also known as henna is a part of the Indian wedding tradition which symbolizes good luck, wealth and health to the bride as she starts her matrimonial journey.The bride’s family organizes the Mehndi function, which is usually held on the night preceding the wedding day and involves all the female family and friends of both the bride and the grooms family.Henna is put on on the hands and the feet of the bride, a night before the wedding, where it is believed to cool the body’s nerve-endings while keeping the bride calm throughout her big day. There is usually a post-henna party and while the Mehndi is traditionally for female members, the male relatives may attend the post-henna party.
The design scope for mehndi designs has been extended to include Arabic and Indo-Arabic designs when people want designs that are non-traditional, this is why you see designs that include animals, Hindu Gods, natural elements or names & figures representing the groom and bride.
The Mehndi Party is a modern addition to the ceremony. The highlights of the party include singing and dancing. There are choreographed dances performed by the family members and later with the bride, as a means of celebrating her upcoming wedding. The Mehndi is regarded as another Sangeet, considering that it involves the coming together of the families to celebrate the union of the couple before the wedding.
