Amongst the traditional henna designs, drawn on the hands and feet of a bride, one can include the ‘baraat’ scene and the ‘doli’ scene. Baraat is the term used to denote the procession of the groom, including all his family members, relatives and friends, before he arrives at the wedding venue. ‘Doli’ signifies the end of a wedding ceremony, when the bride goes away with her husband. Both of these designs are extremely intricate and involve long hours of labor. Apart from that, the common bridal mehendi designs include peacock, kalash, flowers, leaves and conch-shells. Whatever be the design, drawing images of the bride and groom, as well writing the groom’s name, on bride’s hands, is compulsory.
