With Eid-ul-Fitr a few days away, sale of bangles and 'mehndi' has picked up momentum in twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad as Eid, mehndi and bangles have become important for the beauty and happiness in women's life. Naheed, who was buying bangles from a stall at Aabpara market said, "Selection of colour of bangles is a difficult task as we want bangles to match with our Eid dresses".
Generally, the colour of bangles also has a meaning; red bangles symbolise energy, blue bangles symbolise wisdom, purple symbolises independence, green stands for luck or marriage, yellow is for happiness, orange represents success, white represents a new beginnings, black portrays power, silver means strength and gold means fortune. Bangles and Mehndi exude femininity," said Reema, who was buying bangles for her eight years old daughter. "Eid comes after a year and this is the time when we meet most of our relatives. Colourful bangles and mehndi designs are the best way to look good," she added.
Bangles and mehndi attract women, irrespective of their age, and its true to say 'Its Eid, if women are wearing colourful and matching bangles and have mehndi designs on their hands'. Every year, parlours introduce new and unique designs of mehndi as every girl wants to have a new and different design on her hands so she could look different from her friends and relatives.
