Locating Mehandi Artists in Gurgaon



Gurgaon is the Millennium City of India, as it has grown on the backbone of IT and automotive sectors and within a short span of time has become a new hub of ITES and Ecommerce industry. It has attracted not only the Fortune 500 companies but has also become a vast pool of immigrant employees who come here from around India and world for working in these companies. This is also fast changing the cultural landscape of this city. People are distinctly using malls in this city for meeting their day-to-day requirements. It is not easy for the immigrant population to know about the service providers and locate them since most of these providers are operating in the unorganized sectors and do not know much about the World Wide Web which the people living here are quite used to. One such category of people is The Mehandi artists


Since malls Play an Integral Role in the life of residents of this city, it is quite natural to find the Mehandi artists in Gurgaon in these malls. These are quite evidently the first places to look for these artists, especially during the festive and the wedding seasons. Local markets of the respective areas are also the places you might find these artists. Retail store owners of local markets and the management of malls make arrangements of Mehandi artists in front of their shops or indesignated spacious areas.

As the gaps in demand and supply have emerged to the fore and the IT geeks have identified these gaps, they have collated information and made their presence online, either by way having listing in directories or by way of having their own websites. So, for the people, even the online medium is good enough to search for these people. Instead of making on-the-spot decisions related to selection of Mehandi artists in Gurgaon in market places, you can see their designs and works online.


If you are having a Wedding Occasion where there are a good number of people who would like to Apply henna, you might even call these artists by checking their contact details online. You are saved of the hassles of locating them in markets and requesting them to come to your place. Another important benefit of using the online medium is that you can book them online well in advance of the wedding date, when you might not find these artists even in markets. This is extremely convenient since it saves you last minute hassles and you can negotiate better prices. Furthermore, you can even call specialists of your liking from the adjoining cities such as Delhi or Noida (provided of course that the service providers provide their services to Gurgaon).
So, it is beneficial to try and locate them online or, alternatively, to find them in market places during the season of festivals and weddings.

Mehandi Design-Body Impressions Since Ages



Ajay Mehandi Art
Do you know that the use of Mehandi and its application by the women folk during the weddings and festivals was something that originated during the Vedic times? Ancient Vedic texts mention it. What makes it even more interesting is the fact that the rituals during those times were using this method of decorating the palms and feet and proves that the women were conscious of their decorations and beauty. However, application of Mehandi had an additional purpose. This purpose was more spiritual in nature. It was highly believed that the application of henna (Another Name for Mehandi) would be used for awakening of the inner self. It symbolized sun and was believed to exploit its power for soulful satisfaction. Thus, the motive was not only to enhance the beauty of women but also to attain spiritual well being.


During the Vedic times and even for a considerable time period in the modern world, the use of henna has been essentially by womenfolk. The men have begun to use it quite late in the modern times. Today, you would find Mehandi being made available in cones which can be used directly. The narrow slit opening of the cone on one side would permit the creation of many fine designs. The finesse is limited only by the expertise of The Mehandi Artists. These artists are found in every city and village of this country. While in the cities, there are experts who are good only in this work, in villages, it could even be the ladies at home who can create the designs. There is no doubt that this art is quite popular and more so during the times of weddings and festivals. In big cities such as Delhi, the artists can be found at the market places which are abuzz with people during these times. You can even see that Mehandi designers in Delhi are seated in a row with ladies in front, stretching out their palms for creation of wonderful designs. These experts are also called in homes and all the household ladies can get the henna applied. In villages it is not always possible to have these artists at the marketplace due to conservatism. Either they are called in the households or it is the home ladies who themselves act as artists. The ones who are able to create better designs than the others are always in high demand. 

While this art was limited to Hindu women in the Vedic times, this art has been extremely popular in the whole subcontinent as well as in the foreign lands. The role of cinema and the expatriate Indians has been crucial in spreading this art in foreign lands. Now this art is not limited to Hindus and to women folk only. Both men and women, and from other religions have embraced it.
