Are there different colors to henna?
Henna
Back at the henna party, the bride sits on stage while family members and friends come up to her to have their palms marked with blots of henna.[41] These marks represent many the long-lasting marriage as henna remains for many days.[41] It also represents the blood from breaking the hymen upon consummating the marriage on the wedding night.[41] Others add that the red stain on the hands of the guests are to mislead the evil spirits of the Jinn who are looking for the bride.[41] After the painting, the party ends after lasting about 4 or 5 hours.[41]
