The art of applying henna in hands and feet is known as Mehndi and it is
a very old custom and ancient art form of the Asian subcontinent. The
propagators were the Mughals. The Mughals taught us all about the
history of Mehndi and introduced it to India during 12th century AD.
During that period the royal and rich use to decorate themselves with
it. The patterns were intricately made by the artists or the
beauticians. Indian weddings are incomplete without the mehndi ceremony
.The ritual of mehndi ceremony is followed in every part of the country
where the hands of the bride are adorned with the lovely red color of
the mehndi. On these festive or wedding occasions mostly traditional
Indian designs are made on the hands of the bride.
The origin can be from Egypt because it was one of the art forms in
Egypt. It has the evidence that it has been found that henna was used to
stain the fingers and toes of Pharaohs earlier to mummification. The
mummification process took many days and as the Egyptians were diligent
in planning their rebirth after their death, they became quite fanatical
in the preservation process. The Egyptians believed that body art
ensured their recognition into the afterlife and therefore used Mehndi
to identify them.The propagators were the Mughals. The Mughals taught us all about the history of Mehndi and introduced it to India during 12th century AD.
