I was asked to take photos at a mendhi at the weekend. A mendhi or henna party is a South Asian custom where brides get their henna done before the wedding day and is celebrated by family and friends.
The bride to be hasn’t had her henna done on her hands yet but I liked the colours of her outfit and the embroidery and flowers that give extra detail. May the bride to be have a lovely wedding and a happy future.
Eid-al-adha is celebrated by Muslims all around the world. It was a hot day in London this year, but my family all came together for food, gifts and games. Here’s a few photos I took to mark this year’s celebrations.
Eid Mubarak everyone. Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum (May Allah accept it from you and us).
Happy Eid to all to Muslims around the world who are celebrating Eid-al-Adha which coincides with the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and honours Abraham’s promise to God. In these blessed days may all pilgrims’ prayers and ours be accepted.
Its still wedding season for a lot of people so I thought I’d share a photo of a bride’s hands which in typical South Asian and Middle Eastern culture are decorated with Henna.
I really like this picture as there’s so much detail and the colours are so rich
