^ Post above seems to be an important question on Seemanthams.
In the interrim, here's a picture of the Half-Sari, the traditional Hindu dress. I mentioned it long ago and never posted a picture. It's commonly worn in S India by teenaged girls/young women (I don't know about N India; but as Sari is all-Indian Hindu wear, Half-Sari would also be, I'm guessing). Half-Sari is based on Bharatanatyam dress which is of course the same as the dress that Devi Vigrahams are clothed in. <!--emo&

Beautiful Hindu wear: traditional dress, pottu (bindi), flowers and jewellery - all present in photo. <!--emo&:clapping--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clap.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='clap.gif' /><!--endemo--> Hindu women and men look beautiful in traditional Hindu gear, IMO.
Above is the lovely Telugu actress Keerti Reddy - apparently it's some photo from a film, but I haven't watched so no comments.
Anyways, when someone finally makes a movie about how our Reddy Rulers took on the islamic Terror <!--emo&:bcow--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/b_cowboy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='b_cowboy.gif' /><!--endemo--> (now that's a plot I'd pay to watch - <i>hint, hint</i>), maybe they'll put her in it.
