Mehndi designs or Henna are applied during weddings and any religious festivals or ceremonies among women in Asian countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Middle East. Mehndi has been traditionally practiced in Indian subcontinent. It is applied during Hindu festivals like Karva Chauth, Vat Purnima, Diwali, Bhai Dooj , Teej and by Musilms on Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha. Any wedding in Indian subcontinent is incomplete without Mehndi ceremony.
What is interesting is that henna is no longer applied just on the hands and feet.. brides these days are opting for henna tattoos on their backs, necks, arms, belly buttons, ankles, thighs (as garters)
So here is a crazy question for you:
If you are a bride, would you opt for a mehendi design, or mehendi tattoo any where else on your body other than on your hands and feet? :-)
