[quote=Anonymous]I am ethnically Indian but was born & grew up in the US. In our Indian American community, we had saree ceremonies to celebrate the first time a girl wears a saree (not a half-saree) and it had nothing to do with having a period since that would obviously be embarrassing. It was usually when a girl turns 11 or it could be any random time parents decide.. I had heard of having one after menarche - but the Americanized version did away with that part thank goodness! A half-saree is a dhupatta wrapped like a saree on top of a lengha [/quote]
