Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on mehndi, henna body art in South Asian custom, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, continuously edited encyclopedia entry rather than a peer reviewed or institutional source. It is useful here for a well referenced general summary of its ritual use at weddings and festivals, and is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation. NotesWikipedia's article on mehndi, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; the article itself flags its fourth century Deccan cave art claim as needing better sourcing, so that claim is reported here as weakly evidenced rather than settled; used otherwise for the more reliable twelfth century dating, Mughal era popularization, and the specific festivals named for Hindu and Muslim practice, standard reference facts.
