In this programme, Jyoti Taglani demonstrates the traditional Indian art of henna painting, of particular significance at a marriage ceremony when the bride's hands are always seen painted in this way. Prior to the wedding, the bride visits Jyoti's home and is encouraged to relax while the painting takes place. Jyoti squeezes the henna paste from a tool very much like an icing bag with a very fine aperture. With deft movements she begins to create traditional patterns adding ideas of her own, working first on the palms of the hands from the wrists to the fingertips. Then, on the back of each hand a detailed and symmetrical pattern is created. Finally, we see footage of the wedding with the bride and groom posing for photographs – the hands are positioned carefully to show the henna artistry now sprinkled with gold.
