A beautiful Indian tradition is the art of Mehndhi. This 5000 year old tradition is painless and the art can last from several days or as long as a month. This tradition began for less fortunate brides to wear in place of fine jewelry. Indian brides have a Mehndhi party the night before the wedding {girls only!} where the feet and hands of the bride are adorned. The designs are reddish-brown and fine lines (lacy or floral). The peacock is often incorporated (India's national bird), the lotus flower (India's national flower), and an elephant with a raised trunk (symbol of good luck).
