Mehndi represents the bond of matrimony and hence, has sustained its importance as a pre-wedding ritual and is considered a “shagun”. It signifies the union of two families and the love and affection in a marriage. It is believed that the darker the mehndi stains on the bride’s hand, the stronger the bond will be with her husband. The longer the mehndi retains, the more auspicious it is for the newlyweds. Mehndi is also deemed to be a symbolic representation of fertility. Among the intricate patterns of the mehndi will be hidden the groom’s name or his initials, which he will have to later find. This fun game breaks the ice for the couple and creates intimacy.

The mehndi ceremony is a colorful, musical and lively celebration. Different families have different customs during the ceremony. It is usually held a few days before the main wedding ceremony and usually combined with Sangeet ceremony. The bride and other females in the bridal party get ornate mehndi patterns applied on their hands and feet. It is an occasion for both sides of the family to gather and have some fun, as there is usually dancing and skits performed by family and friends. Everyone sings and dances to traditional wedding songs. It is entertaining for all the members as there is a lot of excitement in the air for the upcoming wedding as well as a lot of teasing the bride and groom before their big day. 
Other Features of Mehndi
In addition to the cultural significance in weddings, mehndi is also renowned worldwide for its medicinal properties. Its therapeutic qualities made it a popular cosmetic since early ages. Mehndi is an excellent, natural conditioner and dye for hair, giving beautifully coloured, radiant looking hair. Mehndi is also popular for its cooling effects and aids in soothing headaches, fevers and even hysteria. It can also increase the growth and look of nails. 
The traditional patterns of mehndi have become more and more intricate and decorative with time. There are now many types of mehndi patterns, some of which are Arabic, Rajasthani and tattoo.

Mehndi is a ceremonial art form which originated in ancient India. Intricate patterns of mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. The bridegroom is also painted in some parts of India. In Rajasthan, the grooms are given designs that are often as elaborate as those for brides. In Assam, apart from marriage, it is broadly used by unmarried women during Rongali bihu, but there are no restrictions on its use by married women.
Muslims in India also started to use it as an indication of coming of age. Henna is now also used in some Gulf States, where the night before the wedding night is dedicated to decorating the bride with henna, and called "Henna night". In the Middle East and Africa, it is common for women to apply henna to their fingernails and toenails and to their hands.
Some Muslims also use henna as a dye for their hair and for the beards of males - intended to follow the presumed tradition of their prophet, Muhammad, who is said to have used turmeric dye in his beard. In one narration by him, he encouraged Muslim women to dye their nails with henna so their hands could be distinguished from the hands of a male.[citation needed]
In Africa, henna was used as part of spiritual practices by tribes to decorate their bodies and for protective purposes when certain symbols/designs were incorporated.
As a result, some African countries like Somalia, henna is applied to women and girls during Eid, weddings, and visits to important people or relatives.[citation needed]. In most countries, Henna is seen as a way for women to beautify themselves (as jewels), so is well decorated and applied with good care
Henna paste is usually applied on the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush, but sometimes a small metal-tipped jacquard[disambiguation needed] bottle used for silk painting (a jac bottle) is employed. After about 15–20 minutes, the mud will dry and begin to crack, and during this time, a mixture of lemon juice and white sugar can be applied over the henna design to remoisten the henna mud so that the henna will stain darker. The painted area is then wrapped with tissue, plastic, or medical tape to lock in body heat, creating a more intense colour on the skin. The wrap (not a traditional method), is worn for 3 to 6 hours, or sometimes overnight and then removed. When first removed, the henna design is pale to dark orange in colour and gradually darkens through oxidation, over the course of 24 to 72 hours. The final color is reddish brown and can last anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the quality and type of henna paste applied, as well as where it was applied on the body (thicker skin stains darker and longer than thin skin). Moisturizing with natural oils, such as olive, sesame seed, or coconut, will also help extend the lifetime of the stain. Skin exfoliation causes the henna tattoo to fade.
