Anup Bhandari describes the wedding henna blooming on the bride’s hands. He mentions the flowers dancing in her hair as she blushes, with a line translating to ‘the entire town calls out your name.’
Maduveya Madarangi Ee Ninna Kaiyali Arali Arali NaguthaveThe wedding henna blooms and smiles on your hands.
Naguvina Aa Rangu Madumagana Manadolage Thunta Kachaguli IduthaveIts vibrant color playfully tickles the groom’s heart.
