Designer "Mehndi"


Designer "Mehndi"

These are the intricately "Mehndi" (henna)-painted hands of my young niece who was recently married. The "Mehndi" ceremony is a popular event (held a day or two before the wedding) in Indian marriages. The bride-to-be's female friends and the womenfolk of the house get their hands and feet decorated by "Mehndi" experts. There is a lot of singing, dancing and light ribbing of the bride-to-be and everyone has a great time!
