Celebrating a Mehndi Party: a traditional Indian pre-wedding ceremony
In Indian tradition, a Mehndi is part of the pre-wedding ceremonies. Truly, it is one of the most colourful and vibrant parts of the celebrations that lead up to the wedding day. I have been blessed to be a part of many Mehndi and can say for a fact that it is a party like no other! There may be similarities to other celebrations in terms of how they are planned and executed. However, the feel, emotions, colours, and atmosphere are unparalleled for this party.
There is a very important reason that the Mehndi party takes place in the days right before the wedding. Tradition says that the deeper the colour of the bride’s henna, the happier the marriage will be. The symbols and designs painted on the bride’s hands represent various blessings, luck, joy, and love. The groom’s name is also hidden among these symbols too.
