Menhndi is a ceremonial art form originated in ancient India. Intricate patterns of mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna.
Henna was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for brides. These varying designs meaning different things to each culture, such as good health, fertility, wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.
What an honour to photograph the entire Mehndi ceremony for bride Toral Komdar. Truly an eye opening experience.

Toh AkaLane, also written Tok AkaLane, is a narrow lane with much character within the core zone of George Town’s Unesco World Heritage Site. The lane has three arms forming the letter “T” – one arm leads out to Beach Street, another to Malay Street while another ends at the back gate of the Acheen Street Mosque. Carnarvon Lane also ends at Toh Aka Lane.
Toh AkaLane is said to have been named after a Chinese person whom the Malays called “Tok Aka“, or Grandpa Ah Ka. The profession along Toh Aka Lane during the early days was ironwork, and its inhabitants are mostly Cheah clansmen of the Cheah Kongsi. For that reason, Toh Aka Lane is often known among the Hokkiens as Phak Cheek Kay, or Ironworks Street.
The proximity of Toh Aka Lane to Acheen Street Mosque means that it once served the Malay settlement on its western side, which has since shrunk in size, as George Town of the 20th century evolved to be more homogenously Chinese.
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light, which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
