One of the most prominent attires found in south India is the half saree. It is known as langa voni, langa davani and pavadai voni in local languages. The half saree is a south Inidan sibling of the lehenga. It is mostly worn by adolescent girls who are yet unmarried. The attire consists of a long skirt, a dupatta and a blouse. The dupatta is wrapped around the waist and draped on the shoulders. Though it is a traditional outfit, girls love wearing it at special occasions. The half saree has been recreated and modernized according to time and need. There are different ways of wearing it in today’s fashion world.
Here is why the half saree or Langa Voni is the best outfit for any occasion:
1. YouthfulÂ
