In the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, it is customary for girls who reach puberty to adorn themselves with a thavani (shawl) over the pavadai sattai (skirt and blouse), creating a beautiful ensemble known as the half saree. This transitional attire signifies a pivotal moment in a young girl’s life, marking her progression toward womanhood.
The thavani is worn not only for modesty but also as a symbolic indication to the world that the child has matured into a 'child woman' and is approaching readiness for marriage. She sports a single braid adorned with delicate jasmine flowers tucked in, adding a touch of beauty to her appearance. Radha's attire reflects the rich cultural traditions of the South, embodying the significance of this important rite of passage.
