Mendhi, or henna, is a paste made from leaves and herbs and used in islamic traditions as a symbol of happiness or luck. This past weekend my sister got married. An Islamic wedding lasts about 5 days, one of which are used to put mendhi on. There is also a myth that comes with mendhi on a wedding day: The darker the brides mendhi color, the more her husband loves her. I also put learned how to put mendhi on by looking at designs. I was never taught but I pick up on ideas and designs. Sometimes my mendhi isn't the traditional designs. I use a more arabic template.
