उत्तर
The match began with 9A winning the toss. They sent their raider Govind who swiftly touched Suresh from 9B and scored a point. Then 9B sent their raider, ace player Ravi. Ravi wrestled down Mangesh, a strong player from 9A. However, Mangesh saved himself. He scored 3 points for his team, as Ravi, Mohan, and Ajinkya, who were holding him, were declared out. Then Mihir from 9B managed to tag Sohan from 9A. After this came Vivek's raid. The remaining 3 players from 9B caught his arm and tried to pull him back, but he went across the midline with the anti-raiders hanging onto his arm. Thus the whole of the 9B team was declared out.

Mehendi enjoys special attention during the wedding. In India, the day before the wedding is devoted exclusively to the elaborate ritual of applying Mehendi on the hands and feet of the bride. This practice is followed in Arab countries as well, except that it is held a few days prior to the wedding day. Songs are woven around the healing properties and lucky omens associated with mehndi are sung by the bride’s family and friends. An age-old belief handed down to generations lays great emphasis on the color of the bride’s Mehendi – a darker color suggests bountiful love and affection from the future in-laws and husband, and for this reason, brides take the pain to ensure that only the best quality henna is used for her wedding day.
The ritual of adorning the bride with henna is a sacred one and in some communities requires the initiation by the mother-in-law. A popular game during marriage function is the search for their names, by the bride and groom hidden within the elaborate pattern on the bride’s hands.
In certain parts of India, the bridegroom has his hands decorated with henna. The Mehendi function during marriages has evolved from simple family affairs of yesteryears to elaborate events of today. A lavish spread of food and entertainment in the form of song and dance performances have transformed it from a small function to a gala prelude. In earlier days, the task of applying Mehendi on the bride was the sole prerogative of creative family members. The demand for intricate and different style now, sees this job outsourced to beauticians skilled in this art. Beauty salons charge according to the style and complexity of pattern desired by the clients.
