Introducing the Ancient Art of MehndiThe ancient art of henna painting originated from India, and is largely used in traditional and cultural events and festivals in countries such as Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sudan, the Middle East and even some of the Western nations as well. Created as a ceremonial art that is performed through henna painting, the art of mehndi is also known as mehendi, mehandi, al-henna, henna and a variety of other names all across the globe.
Popular especially in Rajastan, India during weddings, the bridegrooms would be decorated with mehndi in addition to the brides, making the festival a truly colorful and exciting event. Women tend to wear mehndi for their weddings, and even during non-wedding festivals, especially in India and other parts of the world (for instance the Rongali Bihu festival in Assam). Sometimes relatives and friends of the bride also wear mehndi to make a wedding a grander affair.
