Mehndi has a rich and storied history dating back thousands of years. Originating in ancient Egypt and migrating through the Middle East to South Asia, Mehndi has been an integral part of cultural celebrations and rituals.
In South Asian cultures, Mehndi holds special significance, especially in weddings. It is believed that the darker the Mehndi stain on the bride's skin, the deeper her husband's love for her. Mehndi is also associated with cooling properties, making it a popular choice during hot climates.
