Henna- a must for the bride

A bride with henna applied on hands - Henna/Menandi is a must for brides. The day before the wedding, all the friends and relatives get together and apply intricate Mehandi designs on the hands and feet of the bride, adding to her beauty. featured in this photo is a young Muslim bride with henna applied on her hands.

application of Henna is very popular among ladies and is generally considered a must for the new bride. although traditionally, the leaves of the henna bush were ground to a paste and applied, these days, we get readymade powders and tubes of paste in the market. is there any such custom in your community?
