After doing ibadat and fasting for whole month now it’s time for Eid-ul-Fitr, everyone from big or small has their own wish list or special shopping list for Eid. But the shopping list of women is the biggest and never ending one. Apart from Eid dresses, accessories and jewelery, women love to wear bangles and have mehendi tattoos on hands. There’s a wide collection of bangles present in every girl’s wardrobe which she wears with matching dresses and mostly girls have a great collection of mehendi designs in their mobile gallery which they usually explore on eid occasions or shadi functions for having the same design imprint on their hands.

The chan chan sound of bangles is considered as women’s best belonging and is always associated with females. The main wholesale market of bangles is present in Hyderabad. It is a big market or factory consisting of bangles of various styles and materials. These glass made bangles are used to be imprint with numerous designs and shimmer which is available in various colors and from there it travels to different cities of Pakistan. The fashion of bangles is not new, it’s an old one which has its history but everything gets modified and becomes better with time so as bangles. Now there’s a wide range of bangles  available in the market ranging with different materials and designs. The sweet chan chan sound has been replaced by the thick sound of plastic, steel or simple bangles wrapped with cloth or threads. To make it trendy usually beads work is done on the outer shell and other decorative items are used to stick to make it more attractive. Bangles are the ever-green accessory of women which makes her a complete bride, yes, none of the bride is complete without these particular hand circles.

Another charming spark of eastern woman’s beauty is mehendi, hands locked with bangles and palms imprint with elegant design of mehendimakes a woman complete. Traditionally, mehendi was made by grinding green mehendi leaves and applying their paste on palms without giving it any specific shape or design with the passage of time the raw mehendi take the form of cone which helps in making unique and delicate designs. Generally, the fresh grinded mehindi shade is light green which later turn to dark green but now different chemicals are used to be fixed in the making ofmehendi, therefore, now it is available in black and red color. However, there are certain myths associated with black cone like one can’t do ablution after applying black cone or most of the women having palm allergy after applying red cone. But there are females who have rejected such allegations and are satisfied with the material as it gives dark color in less time.

For females Eid is incomplete without bangles and mehendi and mostly women remain busy on chand raat while buying bangles or applyingmehendi. The color of mehendi and chan chan of bangles doubles the fun of Eid!

Wish you a blessed Eid!
