Mehendi Mela

Bishop Cotton Womens Christian College

Description

Amidst the vibrant hues of Diwali, our college's Treasury Department orchestrated a Mehendi Mela on the date of October 10, 2023. Picture this: a kaleidoscope of colors and the faint fragrance of Mehendi in the air, as 8 passionate volunteers transformed the campus into a canvas of tradition and festivity. In the heart of this Mela, Mehendi wasn't just an art form; it was a cultural tapestry, weaving tales of joy and tradition. The intricate patterns applied by our volunteers weren't mere designs; they were expressions of the rich heritage that Diwali encapsulates. Mehendi, with its deep-rooted symbolism in Indian culture, signifies love, prosperity, and the celebratory spirit that defines Diwali. As the Mehendi adorned the hands of students, it wasn't just about aesthetics but a connection to centuries-old customs. Each stroke of Mehendi echoed the essence of Diwali, bringing forth the collective celebration of light and prosperity. Beyond the ornate designs, the Mehendi Mela became a stage where cultural traditions and fundraising danced hand in hand, leaving an indelible mark on our college's tapestry of memories. It also helped us raise funds for diwali outreach programs .
