The half saree, also known as Langa Voni, Lehenga Davani, or Pavadai Dhavani, is more than just a beautiful outfitâ it's a timeless symbol of tradition, culture, and elegance.

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.

Janhvi Kapoor celebrated her late mother Sridevi’s birth anniversary by visiting Tirupathi in a very beautiful traditional half-saree. Here are her top looks in South Indian outfits.
