What is a Half Saree Ceremony?
The Half Saree Ceremony, also known as Langa Voni, Pavadai Dhavani, or Ritushuddhi, is typically celebrated when a girl reaches adolescence. The young girl is presented with a saree by her family, marking her transformation from childhood to adolescence. It is a day filled with joy, family, friends, blessings, and festive celebrations.
The ceremony begins with rituals and prayers for the girl’s well-being, followed by her changing from her traditional skirt and blouse (pavadai) into a half saree or saree. This beautiful event is often filled with vibrant decorations, music, dance, and a sumptuous feast for the attendees.
