Different regions of the country celebrate the ritual in a different way according to their own marriage customs, rituals, and culture

Mehandi jo dilo me rang chadhati he
mahndi se bhare haato se jo khusbu aati he
mehndi jo orat ka sringar hoti he
mehndi jo piya ke name ki rach jaati he
mehndi ki rasme jo sab ko bhati he
mehndi jo khuch rang 6od jaati he
mehndi rache haatho ki to baat kya
saji dhaji dulhan mahndi bin uska sringar kya
mahndi rachegi uski to pyar gahra hoga
bin mahndi har kaam adhura hoga
mehndi he surange rango wali
gori hateliyo me mahndi jab usne rachai
hatlewa me mahndi
har tyohar me aage mehndi
shadi me ronak lati mehndi
mehndi bani he rachne k liye
use rachna hi hoga
mehndi sa suhana or koi na hoga

I don't like my feet, i think that a spot of henna can only improve them!

she wanted a sun....
so I smeared in the shading first and only. then looked at her and said "don't worry, there's a method to my madness" because she looked a bit unhappy.
By the time she left, she was very happy!
Mehandi Competition in Tashing Village...
ovviamente mi sono ritrovata entrambe le mani decorate a fine giornata :)
The left hand is painted with a henna design typical for Hudaida and made with henna ala qatr (henna destilate). The right hand is painted with khidab.
For an account how destilated henna is made please read the thread: How "henna ala qidra" in Yemen is mixed at henna-und-mehr.tumblr.com/
Khidab is a Gall ink which is employed in Yemen mainly in the mountainous regions around the capital Sanaa instead of henna. For an account how it is made you can download an article:

Sarah asked for just the pinky and not the rest of the fingers. The result is very reminiscent of a fingerless glove.
he liked it so much the first time, he wanted it again...since he's a friend of mine, we're going to try to do it every couple of weeks, he's trying to decide if he commit to a tattoo.
i like the first one better...

Mehandi
Mehandi is prepared from the leaves of Lawsonia Inermis, with the Arabic name 'Henna'. In Gujarat henna is commonly known as 'Mehandi' The processed powder may contain plants other than henna. Lemon juice, strong tea, eucalyptus oil are mixed with the powder and kept for 6 to 8 hours to prepare the paste. The paste is put in a cone for further application. Eucalyptus oil changes the colour of mehandi to dark red or brown colour.
