Tissa Kurian belongs to India’s beautiful city Marmagoa and now settled in Delhi. She is regular reader of EindianGirls.com. Tissa sends us her beautiful picture and said that she what to share her personal information with serious peoples. She says that she like wedding functions and loves Mehndi. She also writes some lines about Mehndi.
Tissa says Mehndi or Henna has been popular in the States for the last few years. We know of Mehndi because of the cultures and traditions found in India, Pakistan and other Middle Eastern cultures. You have seen Mehndi, the beautiful and intricate designs on the hands, feet, neck or arm. When this artwork has passed you by, it made you stop and take a second look. There is a variation in the art of Mehndi from one country to the next. This variation depended on the culture, religious traditions and ceremonies. And, it is all these variations that helps us identify where the design originates.
The art of Mehndi is not practiced in only one religion, but rather in multiple religions such as Christianity, Islam, Hindu and Jews. She said that as you can see there is a rich tradition and significant meaning to the art of Mehndi. There is more to the design and the coloring then just eye catching beauty.
So the next time you think about having Mehndi art done, consider what it is you are trying to say or bring about. Enjoy the “magic” of Mehndi.
