The Mehndi Lagayi is an event where all the women come together and apply henna on their hands in order to celebrate the wedding. The house is decorated in beautiful flowers, the bride is dressed super simple as it is her last couple of days before she is known as a married woman. The bride usually applies henna all the way up to her elbows and puts it on her feet as well. In henna design, the artist leaves the initials of the groom and as per tradition, the groom is supposed to find it on his wedding night.
Other close family members and friends apply mehndi on all four sides of their hands and some even apply it on the feet.
To this event, you would definitely wear something eastern but not too fancy. At this event the traditional dish daal chawaal (yellow lentils with rice) is served as it is simple, easy to eat and delicious along with other traditional Pakistani sweets.
