Indians have always had nails painted in the most natural way... be it the orange color of mehndi or the red color of the alta....it adores the feet and hands of every bride-to-be.
The significance of Alta was that it resembled blood, which is symbolic of fertility and prosperity. However, the Islamic invasion of India brought along with its new customs and traditions – henna or mehendi, being one of them. Due to the increasing influence of Muslim culture, the usage of Alta was slowly replaced by Henna in other parts of India.
“I am different when my nails are done. I am more dynamic. I gesticulate more, I am better at scaring my staff. I can indicate impatience by drumming on tabletops and I can wrap up a meeting with a few choice clatters.” says a bollywood insider.
