The ceremony was on the grounds of the exclusive Bangalore Club, an oasis in one of India’s largest cities.
The bride-to-be, Sreya Muthukumar, was ensconced on the terrace, wreathed in smiles, greeting and chatting with her guests.
For seven hours last Thursday, the artists drew freehand, etching patterns, motifs and mandalas on Ms. Muthukumar’s limbs.
“After all those hours, when, in the end, the bride looks at her hands and says ‘I love it,’ that’s the high point for me,” said Sunitha Parihar, who adorned Ms. Muthukumar’s arms.
“We mehndi artists are so important to make the bride look and feel beautiful on her big day.”
