A cultural tradition of celebrating the coming of age for a young girl becoming a teenager that she has what is called a “Half Saree Party”, the half-saree is a transition from the pavadai to the sari, from girlhood to womanhood. We had the privilege of being part of such a ceremony recently at the Omni Dallas Hotel At Park West, along side the genius Deejay Prashant and the amazing Weddings By Alpa, complete with a pasta bar, an ice cream bar and a chocolate fountain. Oh did we mention there were nearly 300 guests!
The guest of Honor, Varsha, is a very bright and vibrant young girl who handled the night with the utmost dignity of one much older than only ten years old. She spent the night patiently posing for photo after photo and always had a smile on her face. Following cocktail hour, the night started with fun games and facts for the guests, that even turning into a competition between both halves of the room, followed by some amazing performances and dancing by the talented little guests in attendance. We even had hotel guests appearing outside the hall doors to catch a glimpse of our young honoree on stage, and party crashers (in the form of teenage boys) trying to get a some of the ice cream bar action. The night concluded with a wonderful, heartfelt speech from Varsha and some of her guests, the sounds of Deejay Prashant and an adorable father/daughter dance.
All in all, the Bombay Team was privileged to be part of such a wonderful and memorable night. Congratulations Varsha on your journey into womanhood.
