The trend to wear green clothes, beads, bangles and mehandi is a pretty recent phenomenon, it started less than ten years ago but it has become a fashion now.
Regarded auspicious by the Hindu women, the month of Shrawan brings colours and cheers among the Nepali Hindu women. During this month, especially on Mondays, women fast and put on green and red coloured dresses and other accessories; they also visit the temples or idols of Lord Shiva. Fasting is observed on Mondays by unmarried women to get an ideal husband like god Shiva. And married women do it for the long life of their husband.
This is the month when girls and women are excited about painting their hands red with mehandi or henna. Likewise, the women also opt to load their hands with green and red colour glass bangles and don green dresses. With colourful clothes and accessories, they look attractive in this month.
