Mehndi is also known as Henna.
It can be used as hair dye too.
Mehndi is a paste made from the Henna plant called lawsonia inermis which is mainly found in hot tropical countries like India, Pakistan and across the middle east & North Africa.
The leaves are dried and then grounded into fine powder.
Mehndi is used mainly by Asian Brides on their hands and feet and even on their body a couple of days before the wedding ceremony.
The art of mehndi (or mehandi) has been a long-standing tradition stemming from many ancient cultures dating back as far as about 5,000 years in Egypt, but is most known today for its history in India. Today, it is still used in religious and ritualistic ceremonies in India, but has also gained appreciation in other countries as a beautiful art to be appreciated at any time.
