Mehendi On Karwa Chauth
During Karwa Chauth, married women observe a nirjala fast the entire day, starting from the early hours of the morning. This ritual is observed for their husbands' long lives.
The word mehendi is derived from a Sanskrit word 'mendhika' or the henna plant. Its usage finds mention in religious texts, dating back to the Vedic era. Mehendi is also considered to be very auspicious and it has been a part of the culture of India for decades.
