It's awful! I truly admire the fun-filled, henna nights of Indians where beautiful, elaborate designs are made with the henna, like art on the bride. And people actually enjoy themselves! Gasp!

To ensure the highest quality and longer shelf life, they can be cleaned by wiping over with a dry cloth or a wipe. Of course be gentle, as it is all hand decorated. These candle can be lit at users responsibility. Many people love to keep these candles for decorative purposes, but it is also fine to light them. Of course, take full safety measures as you would with any other candles, using candle holders at all times.

I attended a mehndi night in Egypt once. They had a beautiful mehndi plate with a heap of henna at the center. The plate was carried by the bride's grandmother and she, with the help of the mother applied the henna to her hands. Then they covered it with a special cloth and the evening continued with music and dance.

These candles are designed with acrylic paint and gems. Each candle is completely unique as they are all hand designed at Bhavi’s Mehndi. Lovely addition to any home and a very unique gift. All candles can be personalised with a name and are carefully gift wrapped with cellophane and ribbon. Indian mehndi plates are very gorgeous. They are so colorful with all sorts of Indian designs. I also like that most mehndi plates have little bowls and sections attached to the plate. So henna can be put into all the bowls and carried easily because nothing will fall off.

The Indian mehndi plates also remind me of the plates and decorations used for the Indian festival "Diwali," the "Festival of Lights." The decor, the style seems very common with both.
