A bride’s wedding designs usually includes a hidden inscription of the groom’s name on her palm. It’s believed, if the groom fails to find his name within the intricate patterns, the bride will be more dominant in conjugal life. Sometimes the wedding night is not allowed to commence until the groom has found the names. This is also seen as a subterfuge to let the groom touch the bride’s hands in order to find his name, thus initiating a physical relationship. Another superstition regarding Mehendi is that if an unmarried girl receives scrapings of Mehendi leaves from a bride, she will soon find a suitable match.

Body Art With Henna

Body painting these days is increasingly becoming eminent world over. Mehandi/henna body painting is too getting its fame, mainly among the youngsters. You can create different body design effects by making your own safe and temporary Mehandi pastes. When one thinks of body painting, the usual association used to be with airbrushing or more traditional forms of paint and not henna painting. But henna/Mehandi body painting has become so associated with the idea of body painting that henna painting is what immediately comes to mind when any kind of art body painting is mentioned.

Art body painting used to be a rare thing to behold and usually as performance art in galleries or a specific exhibit at an art fair. But henna body painting has changed all that. Henna painting, which is also traditionally done on canvas, wood, paper, and animal hides, is the new standard. Henna body painting is now synonymous with art body painting in all its forms. The custom of creating striking tattoos and colorful henna body art is 5,000 years old; but what's new about this tattoo body art form to us in the West is the fact that it is a 'temporary form' of body art. Henna body art is beautiful and graceful and provides a person looking for tattoo body art with a temporary body art alternative that has a history, ritual context, and positive associations.

Bridal Mehndi (Henna) Facts

So you are planning for your bridal mehndi (henna) party. It would be good to know what exactly mehndi is, so that you are more or less prepared for your Night of Henna!

Mehndi( henna) is a small shrub called hawsonia inermis and is found in Iran, India, Pakistan, Egypt, and North Africa.Women in Indian rural villages actually pick fresh mehndi leaves and prepare them for the application. They grind the leaves until it is a powdery form. Some people also grow it in their home gardens, as we do! It is also readily available in retail stores in a powder form.

There are different types of mehndi (henna) available. Black, brown and red. While the color of the actual Mehndi dye is deep green, once it is removed, the dye leaves a color that varies from light orange to a deep brownish-black.

The Mehndi Henna Application Process:

The finished paste is placed into a cone. During the process of laying out the design, the cone does not touch the skin, but rather, the henna is laid out onto the skin like a fine thread. The flow of the henna must be controlled in order to produce an even line, and requires skilled hands.

After the henna design is laid out on the skin, a mixture of lemon and sugar is dabbed over the design to set it. The longer the design is left undisturbed, the deeper the color will be. If possible, you should leave it on for at least 5 hours. Later the henna is removed by scrapping it off, revealing a reddish color where the henna touched the skin. The color left behind darkens over the next 12 hours or so.
