01
Mehndi Ceremony
Henna application is slow, intimate, and hours long — which makes the Mehndi music selection deeply important. DJ Sohbash curates a flowing, joyful set that drifts from soft melodic Bollywood through Sufi ballads and romantic classics into energetic group dance numbers as the mood shifts. The Mehndi playlist becomes a journey in itself.
