So I've decided to learn how to draw mendhi.
Mendhi.
"The tradition of applying mendhi goes back thousands of years to religious and bridal rituals in India, Africa, and the Middle East. Mendhi is of great significance in Hindu weddings. Traditional belief is that the darker the stain and the longer it remains on the bride's hands and feet the deeper the grooms love for her. Some even believe that the more intense the stain, signifies the deep love of the bride's mother-in-law will have for her, therefore treating her kindly. According to more recent traditions the grooms name will be hidden in the design of the bride's hands. The wedding might not commence until he finds it."
Beautiful! Respect all cultures.
