As we've discussed earlier in this blog, it's not an Indian wedding without mehndi. On our first morning in Ahmedabad, we visited our friend Ami's family's home and watched the traditional application of bridal mehndi two days before the wedding. The bride has a distinct and traditional design, which is applied to her hands, arms, and also her feet. Ami's sister Anar and her mother Sonal joined her in having mehndi applied to their hands and arms. The whole process took over two hours, and even longer to dry. Theo took some video of the process so that we could share it with you. We both found the designs incredibly beautiful and complex.
