Mehndi, or the Rasm-e-henna ceremony, typically takes place one or two days prior to the main wedding day. The event is traditionally held separately for the bride and the groom, and henna is symbolically placed on the couple's hands.
The groom's friends and family bring along sweets and henna for the bride, and the bride's family does the same for the groom. On the bride's ceremony the groom normally does not participate and similarly, on the groom's event the bride stays at home. Female guests are sometimes offered mehndi at the host's discretion.
A night before wedding, when bride dyes her hands with mehndi or hina. This is the night when groom's family brings bride's wedding dress to her house and bride family takes grooms' dress to his house. This event is very colorful and full of traditional songs and dances. Depending on family, this event could last more then one day. The first day at bride's place to put Henna on bride's hands and second day at grooms' to put Henna on his hands.
