Mehendi: Wear It Dark & Deep – belief
A deeply colored design is generally considered a good sign for the new couple. It’s a common belief among Hindu women that during the nuptial rituals the darker the imprint left on the bride’s palms, the more her mother-in-law will love her. This belief may have been contrived to make the bride sit patiently for the paste to dry and yield a good imprint. A bride is not expected to perform any household work until her wedding Mehendi has faded. So wear it dark and deep!
