Mehandi Designs

Mehndi is an integral and important part of the Indian culture. From Bollywood to local folklore, this art of decorating body with beautiful Henna designs has inspired many lyricists and musicians. Such the beauty of Mehandi! The history of Mehandi is as old as our culture itself when locals used a paste of crushed henna leaves to color their skin as a form of a semi-permanent tattoo.

Gradually, this trend became quite popular during the Mughal period, when Mehandi was given greater prominence than ever. Intricate details reflecting nature and the then customs and traditions took centerstage in Indian weddings. Infact, it’s hard to imagine an Indian wedding, irrespective of religion or caste, without the bride and groom decorating their hands with Mehandi. The rule is that “the brighter the pigment of your mehandi, the happier your life will be”!
