History
<p>Henna is not a sacred plant as such, but it is believed to symbolise prosperity, fertility and happiness. It is widely used in a variety of religious and social ceremonies in India. At weddings, the bride’s hand is decorated with henna.</p> <p>The use of henna is also found in Islam and has been practiced by Muslims for centuries. In fact, the plant is believed to have been used by the Prophet Mohammed and his wives. It is often described as the ‘Medicine of the Prophet’. In India, the night before Id (called as Chand raat), women paint their hands with henna. It also forms part of many rituals including wedding, betrothal, etc.</p>
