Preeti Bhati on Instagram: "Ritu Shuddhi (or Ritu Kala Samskaram) is a traditional coming-of-age ceremony celebrated in South India, particularly in states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, marking a girl’s first menstruation as she transitions into womanhood, often involving wearing a half-saree (Langa Voni/Pavadai Dhavani) for the first time."
