Latest Bridal Mehndi Designs 2014

 Mehndi or Henna is a paste that is bought in a cone shaped tube and is made into designs for men and women. It is also derived from the Sanskrit word mendhikā. The use of mehndi and turmeric is described in the earliest Hindu Vedic ritual books. It was originally used for only women's palms and never for men, but as time progressed, it is more natural for men to wear it. Haldi (staining oneself with turmeric paste) as well as mehndi are Vedic customs, intended to be a symbolic representation of the outer and the inner sun. Vedic customs are centered around the idea of "awakening the inner
light". Traditional Indian designs are of representations of the sun on the palm, which, in this context, is intended to represent the hands and feet.

For over five thousand years henna has been a symbol of good luck, health and sensuality in the Arab world.
