The Indian wedding and its vibrant functions are known to everyone. From roka to vidai, each ritual holds significance in the wedding. One of the many events in the wedding is the mehndi ceremony, a pre-wedding event for you and your close ones. In the event, mehndi or henna - a natural colouring paste - is applied on the hands and legs. It becomes a sort of temporary tattoo after leaving it for a few hours.

The event also brings good health and prosperity to the bride's new journey of her life. It is known to be associated with positive spirits and good luck. Mehndi is applied to not only the bride-to-be, but also the groom-to-be. Guests and relatives of the duo also apply henna.

This ceremony is not only performed in India, but in our neighbouring countries as well, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal to name a few.
