mums mehndi was so beautiful,had a branch sort of pattern running all the way down the front and back of the palm.
Relating to the henna encyclopedia, mum uses the
fishbone pattern,although now that pattern has transformed and used in many ways,before this was the standard way the pattern was used.To see other uses of this pattern,check
The Henna page
mums forehead was decorated with red liquid dots, now most brides use the stick on bindis that are easier to peel off and stick on to skin and they are highly decorated with rinestones and beads that make it look more attractive when the bride is on stage and the light reflects of the shiny bindis, below is a picture of the bindis I bought from the
Sunday TimesEastern Bridal fair thet was held in August
Shanal Ramlall is a jewellery artist that worked with similar jewellery forms like the one my mum is wearing.
The word “Hathphul” translates directly to “Flower for the Hand” this specific ornament is worn by an Indian bride for the purpose of adornment. “the ornament literally bridges the gap between bracelet and finger rings with delicate gold chains” (Krishnan- 1999).
