The Mehndi is now synonymous with any Indian wedding. The term Mendhī in Sanskrit refers to the plant Lawsonia inermis and the dye produced from it, while the word Hinna was used with the same meaning, in Arabic. Although these were originally synonymous terms from different languages, a distinction later arose between them, wherein Henna became the term for the dye and Mehndi for the related art form.
Intricate patterns of mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. The bridegroom is also painted in some parts of India.
The henna paste is usually applied on the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush.
