Hey guys!! Thanks for all your votes and comments!!! Finally reached 2k readers. I am so happy. :D

Welcome to Kavisha's Mehndi Ceremony!!

Let's begin with her Mehndi Ceremony!!

***********************************

Kavisha was tossing and turning in her bed. She tried hard to close her eyes and waited for sleep to consume her again. But tough luck. The excitement for her wedding had taken her sleep away.

Today was the first ceremony of her wedding i.e her Mehndi ceremony.

Kavisha finally took her phone below the pillow and checked the time as it was still dark outside she couldn't guess the time. She sighed loudly realizing it was just 5am in the morning. She knew nobody would be up this early as everyone in their house except her had slept pretty late due to all the preparations.

She was sent off to take rest by her aunts saying it was her day and she must be all fresh and energetic for enjoying it.

Kavisha decided to get up but as soon as she sat she realized she would never be able to reach the washroom because all her cousins were sleeping around her bed on the floor.

Kavisha sighed and again flopped on the bed.

After an hour or so her grandma walked in her room and asked all the girls to get ready as Kavisha's mehndi designer would be coming in an hour and before that they had to take care of the other rituals as well.

Around 8am everybody had their breakfast and made the final arrangements for the ceremony.

Finally Lakshmi along with Paru,Poorva and Anirudh's aunts arrived at Kavisha's house with the Mehndi.

After a few minutes the mehndi designers also arrived.

Poorva enthusiastically said

'So let's start with the Mehndi ceremony...okay..I know everyone is curious that why are we applying Mehndi to Kavisha in the morning when the actual ceremony is planned in the evening. So the reason is it will take atleast 5 hours to design Kavisha's bridal mehndi and if we start with that in the evening the she will have to sit idle during the ceremony and she will get bored and if we drag her for some dance or something her mehndi would get spoil. So we have decide that the rituals will take place in the morning and all the family members apply mehndi right now so that till evening it will dry out and we all can enjoy the ceremony freely without worrying about the mehndi being wet. All the guests will aplly mehndi and will enjoy our perfomances.'

Everybody appreciated Poorva's thoughtfulness but one of Kavisha's younger cousins who were like 12 years old said

'This is not fair..in serials and all they apply it with the songs being played and all..it so boring right now'

Everyone laughed at their cribbing and asked them to wait till evening for the perfomances.

Finally Anirudh and Kavisha's mothers did Kavisha's kungumam and Aarti and placed a dupatta(veil) over her head.

After that each married women did her kungumam and aarti.

Then Anirudh's and Kavisha's mother placed betal leaf on Kavisha'seach palm and applied mehndi on it. And all the married women followed their suit.

Suddenyly one of Kavisha's cousin spoke out of nowhere

'Paattii ma why are we applying mehndi on a betal leaf and not on Kavisha's hadn?'

Grandma smiled at her and said

'Actaully earlier we used to apply it on the bride's palm itself at that time there weren't mehndi designers and all. But now the designer does excellent mehndi's and if we apply it on her palm it won't go with the design of her mehndi so we use a betal leaf.'
