Mendhi
Mendhi: My friend Mita got married last year. She's a Hindu so her bridal ceremony was unlike anything I had been to before. It was wonderful and I had a fabulous time at it. She had a lady doing mendhis (temporary henna tattoos) and I had one done on my hand. It was gorgeous, even if it did smell a little. It took a couple of weeks to wear off. Taken August 8, 2001.

fyi, a couple of my roommates actually are Hindi and I have been assimilated into the culture in the sense that I wear sari's, perform traditional dances, and cook their kind of food, not to mention watch their movies. I must say that since there is so much diversity in India that all of the traditions, although similar vary. Typically the bride wears an intricate red sari, and has her hands and feet covered in Mendhi, or in henna. a large tikka is placed on the head and extensive amounts of jewelry and bindis over the eyebrows. Once again it all depends on the subculture of india you would like to mimic. I do suggest that you understand the inner meanings of what is worn so they have more meaning to you at your wedding. Rent monsoon wedding to see all of the different clothing and jewelry
