orning the body with Henna has been a custom in many countries for thousands of years. A traditional remedy for skin conditions and cooling the body in hot weather, Henna is also a fascinating and beautiful way to decorate the skin. Henna can be used to celebrate significant events such as marriage or to enhance your body for festivals or parties.
It is difficult to determine the origins of Henna because the practice is so ancient and it is associated with myth in many cultures.
The earliest evidence is from ancient Egypt where it was considered ill-mannered not to dye your fingernails with Henna. Traces of Henna have been found on 5,000 year old mummies.
Henna was also popular amongst the Hebrews and Jews and the tradition spread throughout the Middle East. It is thought to be the substance referred to as Camphire in the Bible.
Shiva’s consort – Parvati – would decorate herself with Henna in order to please him. He responded to her charms and being a very difficult husband to please, earned Mehndi the association of irresistible sensual allure and marital prosperity. In addition, is it thought to placate the Gods and ingratiate the adorned woman and protect her and her family. In particular Lakshmî, the Goddess of Prosperity, dwells in Henna designs and women who paint their hands and feet with Henna will feel Lakshmî ’s presence and earn her favor. However Lakshmî will be affronted if the woman does not respect the custom of Henna and serious consequences will follow!
Shringar is a Hindi word that means ‘beauty of a woman’s creativity’ and Henna is one of the ways in which an Indian woman expresses this power of beauty beneath the surface. The ‘Solar Shringar’ lists Henna amongst the 16 adornments of a woman and the Kama Sutra describes Henna tattooing as one of the 64 arts of women.
