Indian weddings are known for their sacred customs and rituals. For the world, these weddings are a serious affair and are considered to be full of traditions that need to be followed but, they do not know that our weddings have a lot of elements of fun and frolic too. The mehendi function, that is one of the main functions for the bride and her family, is extremely happening and entertaining.

There is also sangeet, known as ‘guan’, that is yet another major function for both groom and bride’s family, wherein all close relatives and friends come together to celebrate the happiness of the couple by performing on various foot-tapping Bollywood numbers.

#2. Dancing on mehendi songs with mehendi on the hands will be very entertaining

Just as weddings are incomplete without mehendi, sangeet performances are incomplete without mehendi too. The joy of dancing on songs like ‘mehendi laga ke rakhna, doli saja ke rakhna’ with mehendi on your hands will be a hatke experience.

CONS

#2.  People who hate mehendi or are allergic to it may avoid the function

There are a lot of people out there who hate the smell of mehendi or are purely allergic to it. All of them will definitely reconsider attending the function as most of the women would be roaming around with mehendi on their hands. They may not want to miss out on the sangeet performances, but just because of the mehendi, they may avoid attending the entire function.

#3. It can be difficult to perform with mehendi on hands

Yet another con of clubbing these two functions is that you may not be able to perform freely and with ease. Your dance movements may be restricted because of your mehendi. Also, a couple dance that needs you two to hold hands and come close, may not be possible as it can spoil your mehendi and his hands and sometimes even his clothes.
