[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Can someone explain what a dhoti and half saree ceremony is? I know I can Google.[/quote] I have never heard of a dhoti ceremony unless it’s another name for the thread ceremony. The half-saree ceremony is traditionally held to celebrate a girl’s passage into womanhood, after she gets her first menstrual period. Until thatvtime girls would wear a “pavadai” which is a blouse and a full skirt. Once she attained puberty she would start wearing a half-saree which is a length of cloth wrapped around a maxi skirt and worn with a blouse. This was the custom in my South Indian community. I don’t know what the exact traditions are in other parts of India.[/quote]
