Indian weddings are vibrant, high-energy celebrations filled with various ceremonies. One such tradition is the mehndi party, where the bride decorates her hands, arms, and feet with intricate henna designs. After the henna dries, it flakes off, leaving the top dermal layer stained with elegant artwork. As per Indian culture, a deep-coloured mehndi is believed to signify a happy and prosperous marriage. Along with beautifying the bride's hands and feet, mehndi also cools the nerve endings of the body, helping to relieve any stress before the wedding.
