What is mehndi?
Mehndi is the word in Hindi used to describe henna, henna painting, and the resulting designs. Mehndi is practiced in many parts of the world. From the deserts of North Africa to the villages of northern India, magnificent designs blossom and vanish upon the hands and feet of women as they have for thousands of years. Most commonly associated with romantic love and the ritual of marriage, mehndi is an integral part of bridal adornment in Hindu, Moslem, and Sephardic traditions.
