my daughter Ashmita’s Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony

Mehendi & Sangeet – An intricate part of the weddings these days, my daughter Ashmita’s Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony was held on 3rd March 2011 at our residence, OUR NEST. Attended by a small gathering of relatives & friends (~150), the mehendi was done amidst classical Rajasthani songs & dance. My nieces and cousins visiting from the US were enthusiastic participants in the Sangeet ceremony.
The ceremony started late evening and it took around 4 hours to complete the bridal mehendi alone. Mehendi signifies the strength of love in a marriage...and there is a belief that the darker the mehendi shade, the more stronger is the love between the couple. And since music is the soul of every Indian wedding, the Sangeet ceremony is more of an entertainment for relatives & friends.
