Rajasthani Henna
Brides and Grooms of Rajasthan
Indian marriages are praised and embraced all around the world. Indian matrimony is a unique experience that symbolizes eternal bond of two individuals even after marriage. Among them, Rajasthani wedding promises a royal reception for its guests. Rajput are famous for their lavish and grand weddings where huge amount of money is spent on decorations and food during the wedding. It is one of the most royal affairs where rituals are performed with seriousness and all the ceremonies contain the essence of Rajput culture. They endorse and support marriages within the community.
Rajasthani marriage is usually arranged between the bride and the groom where the families decide their sons/daughters life partner and tie them into matrimony. The women get married in their early 20's and become housewives after marriage. The men usually take care of their family business and they also get married in their early or mid 20's. Elders of the family hold great respect which every Rajput must obey. The auspicious dates for marriages for Rajasthanis are between May-July and October-January which they consult from their pundits.
Rajasthani bride and the groom get dressed in traditional clothes on their wedding day, but with changing times women generally prefer lehengas while the men have also given a modern touch to their wedding attires. The lehenga of the bride is colorful attire which is a three piece garment. It has a blouse, a long skirt called ghagra that is generally in silk along with a net dupatta having broad embroidered border on the edges. The colorful dresses contrast well with the dull sand across Rajasthan. The traditional bridal wear is mostly red in color but many other colors are also popular such as orange, pink and bright yellow.
A Rajasthani bride is adorned with lots of jewelry on her wedding day. She wears Rakhri (a circular piece of jewelry for the forehead), hanging earrings, the chooda (a set of ivory and gold bangles), the timaniyaan (a choker studded with uncut diamonds) or other ethnic kundan jewelry. A bajubandh or stone-studded armlets, bichuye and gold anklets are worn around the feet and lastly the bride wears a nath or a nose ring. The look of a bride is very different from other Indian brides as some of the jewelry are very unique and only wore by Rajasthani brides.
A lot of gota patti work is used on the bridal wear along with intricate embroidery which portrays the true traditional Indian bride. The bride looks angelic in the wedding attire and the look gets enhanced by the mehndi that is applied a day before the wedding on the hands, palm and feet. The henna is applied by professionals and ethnic Rajasthani motifs and designs are made.
The Rajasthani groom also looks a royalty where he is adorned in brocade Achkan embroidered with golden thread known as zari work. Majestic orange turban is worn on the head which is ornamented with kundan and rubies. On the bottom churidar is worn along with regal Rajasthani shoes known as juttis. The groom wears expensive and heavy necklaces and also wears ornamented cummerbund (waist band) that gives him princely look. Some of the grooms also carry hand printed stoles known as gujari art on the right shoulder and holds a sword in their hand. The groom then leaves for bride's home for the wedding ceremony.
The bride and the groom together look like god and goddess as they compliment each other very well. They exhibit the Rajasthani culture and manners in their wedding attires and solemnize the marriage festivity with fun and frolic.

henna instead of TATTOO ink?
NOT indian ink but TATTOO ink, how long will it take to fade?
((and not "henna ink" ... just henna))
thing is I'm 26 and I think I want my 1st tattoo but I think there might be a possibility I might change my mind after so I want something to last for a while but maybe not forever. ((if I like it I'm deff going to get it done permenantly))
before any of you say anything about having henna leave a permanent mark forever if its "injected" youre wrong. I used to cut then apply henna over the cuts years ago and it would eventualy fade, I just never tried it like a tattoo.
the person doing it is also a professional and close friend of mine so no remarks like "go to a shop" please, I eventualy will I just want to try this out 1st ((and know how long it will last before I even go to him with the idea))
if you know please give me an answer 
((will also be using rajasthani henna... if that makes a difference))
I think you've made a wise decision. The plastic surgeons in the country have a high percentage of patients who want tattoo removal. Only thing I have to say is make sure you haven't developed an allergy to it. (I'm allergic to all forms of henna). Have fun!!
