Mehndi ArtMehndi is the art of painting the hands and feet with a paste made from powdered, dried leaves of the henna plant. The stain is usually reddish brown in color and fades to orange over time. Coffee, lemon, tea, and essential oils are sometimes added for texture, smell or to help the stain. Mehndi started in the Middle East and Northern Africa over 5,000 years ago. Brides will usually have elaborate mehndi designs as part of their wedding outfit.

Lotus FlowerThe Lotus is the national flower of India. In India it is considered more than a flower – it represents both beauty and non-attachment. The lotus grows in fresh water ponds and lakes and in semitropical climates. It blossoms gradually – one petal at a time and reaches full bloom when the rays of the sun hit the flower. The lotus comes in many different colors including white, red, blue, pink, and purple.
The lotus is edible and believed to have healing properties.
India’s Painted ElephantsIndia’s royalty would paint their elephants and adorn them with gold and silver to look more impressive. Today, the tradition continues to attract tourism and to show respect for elephants which are an important part of the Hindu religion.
Until 2013, an Elephant Festival was held every year in India. Animal activists are concerned about the colored powder used to paint the elephants and that the performances were not humane.
