We have got different shades by using different types of mordants and different techniques of mordanting. The color fastness with respect to rubbing was very good for most of the samples but color fastness to wash was quite satisfactory for most of the samples but some samples showed good color fastness to wash properties.

Mehndi, Democratized Media, and the Indian American Experience Tara Gupta Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Media Arts & Sciences April 2016 © 2016 Tara Gupta Gupta 2 Historical Background of Mehndi Mehndi is an ancient Indian art form that dates back to Hindu Vedic texts. Mehndi is a paste made up of crushed henna leaves and turmeric. It is applied on women’s hands as a paste, the paste dries, and when the dry paste comes off, it leaves a deep red dye on skin. Mehndi artists use a cone full of the paste and squeeze it out steadily to draw on women’s hands and feet. The deep red lasts 1-2 weeks; it is akin to a temporary tattoo. Mehndi designs are based on Vedic customs that represent shapes of the sun and flowers. The designs have elements of circles, horizons, sunrays, leaves, and flowers. It is placed on the hands and feet to represent awakening of inner light and good vibes; sun rays and light emanate (figuratively) from women’s hands and feet.
