It is a part of tradition and culture.Women all over the world decorate themselves for this occasion. Applying henna is an art. It reflects an aesthetic sense and it is said the that deeper the colour of henna the more love she will get from her husband.Application of the paste of henna which is a plant leaf is otherwise good for the skin and is considered auspicious.

You know, many of our wedding traditions come from strange things.  Originally weddings took place in June because that is when most people took their yearly bath and that made the wedding party more attractive by being less stinky (also easier to assemble a large group without folks fainting from stink).  The wedding bouquet also was related to our hygiene - the bride and brides maids would carry very aromatic flowers to camouflage any odor they would have due to infrequent baths.\n\nWhat I am trying to say is that many of the old customs don't really apply today, though they are still nice to observe.\n\nHaving said that, in all the weddings I have attended, I never heard that a veil indicated virginity - only the color of the wedding dress.  Pure white implies pure and virginal (which mean hymen membrane in tact - no intercourse i.e. penetration) Off white implies less than pure and darker than that implies previously married (my mother wore a light blue dress at her second wedding).\n\nSo where a veil if you want.  Where white if you want.  Your Virginity is your own private business.  Peace!

they did not have finger paints.  And thanks for your very astute answer upon my previous questions of God.  The way it looks, you will soon earn the points.

many cultures still see white skin or lighter skin as the defining point of beauty. In India, for example, the dowry for light skinned women is much lower than for darker skin women because the latter are harder to marry off. my wife is a darker skin Indian woman and she's beautiful inside and out and your question brings out a truth that is troublesome in our world, isn't it?\nPeace

I'm not really a big fan of religious regulations, but I'll give my 2 cents anyway :).\n\nThough I don't have great knowledge of the Hindu religion, I know they place considerable regard on a woman's virginity at the time of marriage. As a result, it may be perceived a 'sin' for a woman to have had a sexual relationship prior to her wedding. The way I see it however, if the Hindu girl made the decision to engage in extra-marital sex with someone she loves who returns her feelings of affection, it really shouldn't be an issue lest the couple themselves chooses to make it one.

Even Hindu females cover thier head with a dupatta ( of a salwar kameez) or the end of a sari but only takes place place in  Some conservative communities.But with modern times, such commms restrict doing that only till you are in the company of the husbands parents. \nAlso, females cover their head while in a temple.

actually there is a shortage of women in india because male children are typically favored while female children are often seen as a burden and sometimes aborted or killed.  additionally, indian society is very conservative, and males are often unable to initiate relationships with females on their own.  usually it is done through family ties (arranged marriage)  On top of that, indians usually see america as being the land of opportunity, so if they land an american wife they get doubly lucky, they get a woman and an opportunity to go to america.

it's depends on your culture baby.. the western culture put the wedding ring on the left hand... but in most of the eastern culture, they put it on the right hand...

Well, indian cultures does'nt encourage much on  having a girl-friend. Well we do have but not like those of western.\nOur pre-marriage activities/ seeking activity differs a lot from western, almost 90% of marriages are arranged one. Orthodox hindu family puts a restiction on these activities(western/european approach to marriage). Already a lot  western culture has penetrated in our environment to change the traditional approach. But i think ,however it's up to batman to answers your question as it depends on how he takes this.

most women WANT to do those types of video to express their sexuality and feel great about themselves. so win-win for them plus they get money+travel but it also comes with being in public eye all the time depending on u trying to be eye candy.

Yes, Indian literature is full of references to the 'Sharada Sashi' [Spring's moon], and the 14-day long festival of LOVE which ends on the 'Sharada Poornima' [Full moon of Spring] day.\nIt is also recorded that young men and women [both married, and un !] used to come out in groups - and enjoy themselves quite publicly - along the banks of rivers, or on the seas' shores !\nThanks to 'western' influences, we have forgotten all that - and imagine that we need a Valentine's Day to express our hearts' desires !\nAnd worse, all those self-appointed 'guardians' of our Indian subcontinent's 'culture' go about bashing-up and terrorising harmless young lovers [in typical 'western' style !] - conveniently forgetting that it was India who first initiated a healthy intermingling of boys and girls, to neutralise the frustrations that such 'isolationist tendencies' can generate !\n...Hey guys 'n gals, how about getting the whole wide world to celebrate the Spring Moon festival ?! Unlike St Valentine's Day, it will last an entire fortnight !

Because this way your cheeks are evenly red.  It would be like putting on blush on one cheek only if you didn't.  It equals your coloring out.
