How To Dazzle In A Dhavani For Onam

For women who are searching for a Pattu Pavada alternative, Dhavani can be a perfect choice. To those who don’t want something as messy as a Saree, Dhavani can step in. This is something very similar to a Lehenga choli/ Ghagra choli. The difference lies in the fabric, which is lighter than the others. Let me give you a Dhavani tour.

Did you Know?

Dhavani, as per traditional customs, is an attire given to teen girls. This is also known as a ‘Half-Saree’ or a ‘Langa Voni’ in many parts of the south. As per many old traditional beliefs, Dhavani denotes the puberty of a girl. If she stops wearing a Dhavani, then it is considered that she is of “marriageable” age. Also, as per the tradition, when a girl “comes of age”, she is gifted a Dhavani and a saree, which replaces her Pattu Pavada. Different phases of womanhood are acknowledged through clothes.

After the needful invasion of fashion and modern enhancements, a Dhavani has become a usual attire. So, let us see how to dazzle in a Dhavani for Onam this year!
