In time, wearing mehndi has been categorized as a symbol of 'Solah Shringar' in Indian women and has always been crowned as the 'auspicious mark' to celebrate traditions or a new beginning. In Indian families, we celebrate every occasion, every wedding, and every festive ritual or offering with the touch of henna in our hands. In every step of the journey from adolescence to adulthood, mehndi designs have played a huge role to mark every milestone.

Back in the day, when we were schoolgirls, we would patiently wait for the festive season to run to a mehndi artist sitting with his book full of mehndi in a nearby market, or call our mom's trusted mehndi artist home to drench our tiny hands in the beauty of henna. ![]() Getting a beautiful latest mehndi design etched on your hands and feet is so much more than just a normal Indian custom.
