The Mehndi Custom is one of the most beautiful Indian customs. It is performed for important events like Marriages. It involves colouring the hand using a paste called “Mehndi”. This natural colouring is done by applying the Mehndi in a desired pattern on the hands and legs. The paste is retained on the body over night and washed away in the morning to reaveal its beauty.

Here are some pics of the custom being performed on my sister for her engagement.
