About Indian weddings is an exiting event - Here is a series on this special occasion - Mehndi : It is typically employed for special occasions, particularly weddings. It is usually drawn on the hands and feet, where the designs will last the longest due to the fact that it only penetrates the dead cells of the stratum corneum.

Henna paste is usually applied to the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush, The final colour is reddish brown and can last anywhere from two weeks to several months depending on the quality of the paste.

Very nice weddings series, Mehul. I enjoyed by viewing this image and reading about section. Then I got a question myself - what is primary idea for doing this design on ones hands?

Ahhh....and I had just asked about the designs on her hands and arms. Very nice to see others' cultures and traditions.

This is very pretty, especially like the lighting.
Pleasing composition and presentation.
