| A henna tree. |
Being the last day in Rajasthan, it was also my last chance at henna. Normally the environment needed for farming good quality henna is hot and dry, perfectly found in Rajasthan since it's western edge is just desert land. I had seen the shop signs offering mehndi all throughout the state, and sure enough, our guide informed us that you will not find it anywhere else. After the application, I had to wait at least an hour before I could wash off the crusty dye. The mehndi expert assured me that if I stayed away from housework, it would last about two weeks. Unfortunately, despite how much I avoided cleaning floors and doing dishes, my once beautiful mehndi-ed hand turned into this sickly, faded orange colour in just a couple of days. Here's hoping that R's bridal mehndi party has longer-lasting results...
