Top 25 Best Marwari Mehndi Designs Photos for Hands and Feet

India, popularly known as the land of Ayurveda, is blessed with a reservoir of herbs and plants with health benefits. Our ancestors incorporated different parts of these herbs into their daily lives to acquire maximum benefit from it, and down the years these usages came to be called as rituals. One such ritual is the application of henna as mehndi for hands and legs. Henna is an ayurvedic plant with innumerable health benefits, so maybe this was the reason people used to apply mehendi on the hands and feet of the bride before their wedding, and still do.

In India, nowadays mehendi is applied across all cultures, but it was the indigenous brainchild of the Marwars, people of Mewar, Rajasthan popularly known as the Marwaris. Today I will share some pictures of top Marwari mehndi designs for brides which showcase the rich culture and history of Rajasthan. I’m making sort of an image gallery to refer to when I need to choose henna designs for my wedding. Many innovations have been incorporated in the traditional designs over the years, but invariably all the designs are breathtaking in their artistic and visual beauty.

It has become a ritual over the ages, but initially it may have been used to bestow the bride with ayurvedic benefits of henna to cope with pre-wedding stress. It works as a fever reducer, is a fast relief to headaches and migraines, has anti-inflammatory capacity, anti-ageing properties, alleviates sleep disorders, detoxifies body and promotes healthy growth of hair and nails. So it is very evident that the usage of henna for the application of mehndi works as Mary Poppins’ purse for the bride.

It is believed that the darker the mehndi is and the longer it retains its colour is directly proportional to the deeper the love between the would-be couple and the longer the prevelance of the love and fondness between them. Here’s a list of 25 awesome mehndi patterns, the most important ornament a bride has to wear during her wedding:
