Mehendi or mehndi celebrations for Christians. Our Indianapolis Mehendi Celebration is going to have a yellow and purple color scheme with plenty of rich decor. India Sizzling, Sizzling India is doing the catering for the event. We are making our Mehendi Stage in yellow and purple and making all our own decor. See our pictures here
This journey began as I was discussing wedding plans with my Mom. The first thing she asked me was, "are you having a mehndi?" Since I was born in Canada, of Anglo-Indian descent, and I don't really have any connection with my Indian heritage, this was a legitimate question. I replied, "Sure it sounds like it will be a lot of fun!" My goodness, I had no idea what I was getting into! I have been doing research to learn more about my roots, culture and our traditions. I have been doing this mostly online because I have felt very awkward about asking questions of Indian neighbours since I don't speak the language and I am committed to my Christian faith. I was under the (false) impression that India was divided into Hindu, Muslim and Seikh.
I hope that by sharing my journey I can help someone else connect with their roots and that those who read this will find the information as educational, surprising and sometimes amusing as I did.
