Hina

Hina is used during bridal nights in Sudan. It's an important ceremony or custom before the wedding. Watch out! I do not mean my previous blog, The Wedding. On the night of Hina, relatives and close friends come to share the bride and the bridegroom their joy. Some of them pay money for the relatives of the couple. Girls sing songs while dyeing their palms and the palms of their love ones.Hina is used during bridal nights in Sudan. It's an important ceremony or custom before the wedding. Watch out!

Our country and the neighboring Egypt are famous of producing Hina. China and India also produce it. Hina or Henna is a plant with flowers. It needs a hot climate to grow. Its leaves grow opposite each other on the stem. I do not know about its scientific name, but according to my friend Adam, he is an agricultural engineer, it is called (lawsonia inermis). It is the species of the lawsonia genus. The leaves of the tree are dried and crushed. Water and other liquids are added to the powder to form a sticky paste.

 

The paste can be applied with many traditional and innovative tools, starting with a basic stick
In some Arab countries, but the syringe is widely used. The Indians use plastic cones, and cones are used in the western world. In a few minutes time, the stain of hina will appear on the skin within minutes.

    • Kami munggunakannya juga, Shara! Even during Eid times, we use it. Just the other night, my wife told me that she wanted to do it for Eidulfitri. Thanks again for your comment. 

  • Shookran bizzaf ya Billale. As you said, money is more important in the case of the wedding. I don't know why the shadow of The Wedding is in everywhere. Thanks for your comment on Hina.

  • just a little comment. u r verry well. but I think people should gifted the money not pay for the weding

  • Spasibo Tanya! It looks like tatoo, but you can remove it whenever you want. Besides, it can be used on the palms and feet of ladies on special occasions. Try it some day. Thanks teacher Tanya for commenting on Hina.

  • Bahut merhbani Mishaikh. Meri muluk aisa karega, lakin hum log pesa kum deta, matlab Hina ke lei. We pay about fifty to one hundred dollars for the bride. Thanks for stopping by to comment on Hina.

  • It is very common in my country too.  Here we Hina parlors too.  On the festival days and in wedding seasons (We have wedding seasons too),  the business of Hina Designers go higher, and the customers (MOSTLY FEMALES) have to take prior appointment, and cost goes over thousands (Rupee).

  • I agree with others. It looks nice. And tatoo is a kind of art, but not for me, sorry!
