It is the season of harvest festivals, and as Pongal begins today, let's take a look at the traditional attire of half sarees. Having evolved into a stylish statement by the likes of Janhvi Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, and Aditi Rao Hydari, the attire also retains its cultural essence and significance.

THE ORIGIN The half saree is known as langa voni in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and pattu pavadai dhavani in Tamil Nadu. Designer Nachiket Barve explains, "The half saree finds its origin in a lot of states in South India, and it's considered a rite of passage garment when a girl reaches womanhood.
