Mehendi (Henna): Decking up the bride The 'Mehendi' celebration is a lighthearted affair with no religious connotation. Henna is the eco friendly and natural tattoo paste made from the roots of the Henna plant. It has the unique property of soothing and cooling the wearer. This event has no pre designate time in the flow of ceremonies, normally forming a continuation of sangeet, the ladies of the house draw intricate patterns on their hands, arms and feet. The most intricate and complicate patters being reserved for the bride. In some households the groom too is given a spot on the pals the benefit from the properties of Henna.

Jaggo: The Jaggo ceremony is where the family dances and sings on the road in front and around the beautifully decorated wedding home. Jaggo is in the last hours of the night. They decorate copper vessels called "gaffers" with divas (clay lamps) and fill them with mustard oil and light them. The bride/bridegrooms maternal aunt (mammi) carries it on her head, and another lady will have a long stick with bells, and she will be shaking it. The ladies will then go into other friends and families homes and be welcomed by sweets and drinks, they will then dance there and move on.

Answer 2

Here is how I would put this into my own words. I am not sure if what you wanted was something that is put into your own words no matter how long it is or if you wanted to just shorten theparagraphs and still get the info in there. If it isn't what you wanted Sorry and Good Luck.

Mehendi (henna) : Is a non-religious celebration where the bride has
intricate paterns drawn on her hands feet and arms with Henna. Henna
is a natural paste made from the roots of the Henna plant used
as a natural tattoo that will cool and sooth the wearer. There is no
set time frame for the ceremony which is typically a continuation of
Sangeet.

Jaggo: Jaggo is a ceremony where the family sings and dances around
the wedding home which is elegantly decorated. Jaggo usually occurs
towards the end of the night. Copper Vessels called "gaffers" are
embellished,with Clay lamps called "Divas" and filled with mustard
oil then lit. The gaffers are carried by the bride/bridegroom's maternal
aunt (mammi), while another lady will be shaking a long stick that
has bells on it. The ladies then continue to visit other families
and friends homes and are welcomed with drinks and sweets. The
ceremony is a joyous occassion filled with fireworks food and dancing.
Some families choose to have the ladies' Sangeet and Mendhi follow the
Mayian and Dinner.

Chuda Chadana The white bangles - Is a ceremony that occurs the
morning of the wedding. The bride's uncles on her mother's side give
her a set of Choodas, which are 21 bangles that are red and white, after
they have washed them in milk. Traditionally the bride is to wear the
Choodas for a year, however in more modern times women have been known
to only wear them for a month and half.

Answer 3

I doubt that your teacher gave you a research project just to see if you can use keywords on the Internet and find some article to copy. Your teacher expects you to learn from reading the sources you find, then writing down what you've learned. However, in order to help you out here, I'll give you some pointers. This should simplify your assignment and help you out. It seems that you have been assigned to learn about the custom of Mehendi. Is Mehendi another word for Henna, or does it just utilize the plant? Is tattooing the only use for Henna? Are there other cultures who use it? How long do the tattoos last? Are the pattens that are drawn traditional or free form? Don't use the term "Decking Up the Bride". What the hell does that mean? Have you ever heard anyone use it? What is the bride doing? What is "sangeet"? About the groom...he's given a spot on the "pals"? What part of the body is that? I'm not making fun of you....but you need to be precise in your language. Otherwise, no one will understand what it is you are trying to say in your paper. The art of writing a paper is to be clear and concise. Start by thinking of all the questions: WHAT - What is the Mehendi? Is it a ceremony, or a decoration, or a plant or all of these? WHO - Who does/utilizes Mehendi? Women, men, both? What culture? WHERE - What country do these people live in? Is this practiced in the US? WHEN - When did this practice begin? Is it still performed? HOW - How is the practice performed? If it is made from a plant, how do they do it? Do they use a morter and pestle and crush the roots? Do they add water to the paste, or something else? Do they painti it with paint brushes or smear it like fingerpaints? WHY - Was this a superstitious practice? Is there religious connections? Or is this considered a grooming/beauty ritual? If you answer these questions, you can put together an AWESOME paper. If you simply want someone to re-write the paragraph above, you will have a paper that doesn't really tell anyone anything significant. If you want to email me your paper, I'll be happy to critique it for you before you turn it in. Good luck!

Answer 4

Like I told you yesterday. You need to do your own homework so that you can learn to paraphrase.

Here's a helpful hint - Read the paragraphs, and talk about what they're saying. If you do not understand what you're reading do it again line by line, word by word until you understand the material.

PS - when you see the phrase As per (i.e. As Per Tradition) - As and Per mean the same thing.
