Highly exotic, intricate patterns decorating the bride's hands and feet with henna is called mehandi. It is believed that the deeper the color the stronger is her love for her husband. It is tradition for the names of the bride and groom to be hidden in the design, and the wedding night is not to commence until the groom has found both names. After the wedding, the bride is not expected to perform any housework until her mehandi has faded away.

Much Love!!

It is just part of the make up.
It is the same as you would wear something borrowed and something blue.
Is it not?
Or the white wedding dress.

Tradition, it is a temporary tattoo to show celebration.
They are not stupid enough to get real tattoos, like Americans are.
