The art of applying henna in hands and feet is known as Mehendi and it is a very old custom and ancient art form of the Asian subcontinent. The propagators were the Mughals. The Mughals taught us all about the history of Mehendi and introduced it to India during 12th century AD. During that period the royal and rich use to decorate themselves with it. The patterns were intricately made by the artists or the beauticians. Indian weddings are incomplete without the mehendi ceremony .The ritual of mehendi ceremony is followed in every part of the country where the hands of the bride are adorned with the lovely red color of the mehendi. On these festive or wedding occasions mostly traditional Indian designs are made on the hands of the bride.

The origin can be from Egypt because it was one of the art forms in Egypt. It has the evidence that it has been found that henna was used to stain the fingers and toes of Pharaohs earlier to mummification. The mummification process took many days and as the Egyptians were diligent in planning their rebirth after their death, they became quite fanatical in the preservation process. The Egyptians believed that body art ensured their recognition into the afterlife and therefore used Mehendi to identify them.

Famous Beauty Actress Emma Watson Join New Models Agencies

Harry Potter star Emma Watson says although she loves modelling and fashion, the idea of launching her own clothing line or perfume 'makes her want to vomit'.

The fashion-conscious actress - who is the new face of Burberry's Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign - has no intention of launching her own label, claiming the whole idea is "ridiculous".

She said: "I'm really not interested in doing it for my own ego. I'm not a designer. It's gotten so ridiculous. The idea of making my own perfume makes me want to vomit."

The 'Harry Potter' star added she would only consider sketching her own designs if the proceeds from sales went to charity.

She explained: "If someone asked me to do something that was beneficial to a cause, then maybe I'd consider it, but not just to be able to say 'Look at me! I've got my own line!' "

However, the 19-year-old beauty - who has worked on several high-profile photoshoots since joining a models agencies two years ago - was thrilled to be offered the Burberry campaign by the fashion house's creative director Christopher Bailey.

She told WWD: "We just really hit it off. I was really excited. I've done a bit of modelling over the past year, so I'd had practice.

"But I really don't want fashion to overshadow my career - that's my worst nightmare. First and foremost, I'm an actress."

The 'Harry Potter' actress first signed to work with a modelling agency two years ago because she was worried about becoming typecast after appearing in the popular wizard film franchise.

She said: "Fashion's great because you're able to recreate yourself whenever you want. Daniel Radcliffe had time to go away and do 'Equus' on Broadway and break out of 'Harry Potter' a bit and I was always studying. So my way of getting casting directors to look at me in a slightly different way was modelling."

The 19-year-old actress loves wearing bright clothes because she spends so much time in a wet and gloomy climate.

She said: "I'm a real Londoner when it comes to fashion. We often have grey weather and I think it encourages a very grey and eclectic fashion sense. You mix and match stuff a lot.

"I mix high-street stuff with high-end fashion and vintage. My mum also has a great sense of style, so I learn a lot from her."
