Hands..... of grace

Marriages in India are a colourful extravaganza. The pomp and ceremony starts much before the marriage day itself. I have also been part to some marriages. I loved the mehndi artwork the most on her hands.... I present here two contrasts -- one a deeply set mehndi and the other, a delicately laid out one. Hope both of them appeals to you all, as they did to me .
