However, the scale of the ceremony depends upon individual choice. Some people celebrate it with great pomp and show.


Historical Background


Mehndi is one of the oldest forms of body art conceived by man. The Hindi and Arabic word Mehendi is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘mendhika’ which referred to the henna plant itself. Reference to uses of henna can be traced back to the Bronze ages. In the bible, henna is referred to a Camphire. In and around the Indian subcontinent, henna has been used as a cosmetic even before Vedic ages. India is considered as the source from where the body art traditions with henna spread to different parts of the world like Egypt, Asia Minor and the Middle East. References of henna during the mummification process of Pharaohs as well as anecdotes of the famous queen Cleopatra using henna to paint her body are well-known in history. Prophet Muhammad is known to use henna paste to color his graying beard and was known to advocate use of henna to others as well. Use of henna is considered immensely auspicious in many traditions around the world, especially within Hindus, who would consider Mehndi part of the customary 16 adornments or Solah Shringaar.


Mehendi represents the holy bond of matrimony and is therefore, considered a shagun(sign of good luck). It signifies the love and affection between the couple and their families. Here are some popular beliefs that are associated with this tradition:


The darkness of the mehendi colour on a bride’s hand represents the deep love between the would-be-couple. The mehendi’s colour also shows the love and understanding between the bride and her mother-in-law.
The longer the mehendi retains its colour, the more auspicious it is for the newlyweds.
Mehendi is also deemed to be a symbolic representation of fertility.
Mehendi is known for its medicinal properties. Its herb is also very beneficial for the growth of nails. It has a cooling effect that soothes stress, headaches and fever. Probably, mehendi relieves the bride and the groom of all the wedding stress. It also protects them from viral diseases before the wedding.


Although, the ritual was predominantly observed in parts of northern India, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab, the trend has gained popularity all over India. More and more cultures are embracing the idea of Mehendi Ceremony as a pre-wedding ritual mainly due to the aesthetics involved.
