Mehndi On Karwa Chauth: Significance of the tradition

Mehndi is one of the oldest forms of traditional body art. The word mehndi is derived from a Sanskrit word 'mendhika' or the henna plant. Henna leaves have been used for centuries for its medicinal qualities. Mehedi finds mention in religious texts and was used as a cosmetic by women of the Vedic times. The art of using mehndi to enhance beauty apparently started in India and travelled to different countries including the the Middle East. Mehndi is considered very auspicious and among Hindu women, it is one of the 16 adornments of beauty or Solah Shringaar.
