Significance of Mehndi

Significance of Mehndi

It signifies the union of two families and the love and affection in a marriage. It is believed that the darker the mehndi stains on the bride’s hand, the stronger the bond will be with her husband. The longer the mehndi retains, the more auspicious it is for the newlyweds. Mehndi is also deemed to be a symbolic representation of fertility. Among the intricate patterns of the mehndi will be hidden the groom’s name or his initials, which he will have to later find. This fun game breaks the ice for the couple and creates intimacy.
