Henna Night at TCC West Haven Branch

Henna nights are traditional ceremonies for women done before a wedding. Women attending those ceremonies wear special clothes called "Bindalli". “Bindalli” literally means ‘with a thousand branches’, to signify the detail of the handmade figures on the extraordinarily detailed dress. During the ceremony the mother in law paints figures on bride's hand with henna and after that women dance and enjoy themselves with Turkish folk music.
