Mehndi Lagane ke Fayde: 'Vishwa Ke Nath' i.e. Bholenath loves the month of Sawan, in which the 'wind' makes noise and amidst the greenery and raindrops, people feel as if a 'peacock' is dancing in the mind. Worship of Lord Shiva has special significance in this month. At the same time, it is also very special in terms of health. There is a tradition of women applying mehndi in Sawan, which is not only related to beauty, but there are deep religious and Ayurvedic reasons behind it.

In Hindu religious texts, Sawan is considered to be the favorite month of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. It is described in the 'Skanda Purana' and the 'Shiva Purana' that Mother Parvati did rigorous penance to please Lord Shiva. There is a religious belief that Mother Parvati applied mehndi to please Bholenath. In such a situation, it is believed that applying mehndi in Sawan and offering it to Mother Parvati, Bhagwati, strengthens the relationship between husband and wife. It is said that the darker the color of the mehndi on the hands of the woman, the more the love of the husband increases. It is believed that Goddess Parvati is pleased by offering and applying mehndi in this month.
Mehndi is also considered a symbol of good luck, along with auspiciousness and love. Mehndi in Sawan is a symbol of devotion to Mother Parvati and a wish for marital bliss. Especially on Hariyali Teej and Monday of Sawan, women apply mehndi and pray for their husband's long life and a happy married life. It is said that if mehndi is not applied on hands and feet, then the sixteen adornments of married women are considered incomplete.
Applying mehndi in Sawan is a beautiful confluence of religion and health. It is the color of devotion, which shows the love and penance of Mother Parvati, and is a boon of Ayurveda, which keeps the body healthy. It is not just a color, but a precious gift of tradition, faith, and health.
