Occasions to wear Mehandi design
- The Hindu marriages are special occasions for Henna tattoos. Although Mehandi is generally used in many Hindu festivals and celebrations, there's no doubt that Hindu wedding has become synonymous with this beautiful reddish dye. Hindus often use the term 'Mehandi' interchangeably with marriage, and Mehandi is considered among the most auspicious jewelleries of a married woman.
- Mehandi is not just a way of artistic expression; sometimes it's a 'must to wear factor' in Indian weddings. A Hindu wedding includes a number of religious resources previously and during the marriages. Mehandi play a very important part in it, so much so that no Indian marriage is considered absolute without it
- Mehandi is admired and accepted with both men and women also as a conditioner and dye for the hair. Mehandi is also applied during the various fasts observed by married women. It is believed widely that a large Mehandi dot in the middle of the hand, with four smaller ones at the sides denotes the presence of gods Ganesha and Lakshmi.
- A bride's wedding plan usually includes a hidden writing of the groom's name on her palm. It's believed, if the groom fails to find his name within the complicated outlines, the bride will be more leading in marital life. Sometimes the wedding night is not allowed to commence until the groom has found the names. Hence 'name game' is the other occasion for Mehandi to wear.v
