Mehndi is a universally recognized art-form, but every culture expresses it differently. In India, Mehndi represents happiness in marriage, and celebrates numerous traditions with brides and festivals including Karva Chauth and Diwali. Middle Eastern countries represent Mehndi in combination with celebrations of religious significance (e.g., Eid), but Mehndi is adorned with simple and elegant patterns while maintaining spirituality and festivity. African Mehndi commonly integrates geometric shapes to emphasize tribal typologies. Regardless of method, Mehndi is representative of happiness overall, and the basic understanding of its meanings is exciting in cultural connection no matter the religion.
