A Wonderful Day

December 26th was Mendhi day for the wedding! One or two days before an Indian style wedding, the bride and gets Mendhi put on. This is called Mendhi day. On Mendhi (also it is called henna day) day they get these professional people that put Mendhi on you (hands, feet are optional.)as well as the bride (but the men and boys do not do it) Only the women and girls do it. They do Mendhi just to get the bride ready for the wedding and make the skin pretty. After the Mendhi is done, they will mix lemon and sugar or lime and sugar together and they will take cotton and slightly rub it on your hand so then the Mendhi won’t fall off. By the way, they did that all to me and I did it on my feet as well. The color of the Mendhi is dark brown and the pattern is very pretty. It fades away after a few days. Hopefully, it won’t fade away before I come back
The cool thing was I got see buffaloes on the road. There were like 20 buffaloes they were all black with huge horns. At the end there was a baby trying to catch up with rest. It was cute but funny!
