Astrologer Anish Vyas says that the practice of getting the groom’s name written on the hands with henna has been going on for a long time. It is believed that this keeps love alive in married life and marital life remains happy.

The astrologer also says that the bride should always get the groom’s name written with henna on her right hand. The reason for this is that the wife is on the left side of the husband and hence she sits on the right side of the husband.
