Such an honour to be invited to
a colorful party like that!
Puberty parties are very common in Sri Lanka.
When a young girl turning into a woman is a gift of God
and needs to be celebrated.
It is also a way of letting the villagers know
that the young girl is now fertile and ready for marriage.
I was delighted when a colleague of mine, beautiful Shayamala, invited me to her daughter's big and colorful party!
A puberty ceremony is usually celebrated by inviting friends and family.
They often come bearing wonderful gifts and are then rewarded with a grand meal.
What a beautiful girl!
My beautiful colleagues)
Flower girls tossing rose petals in the air.
I'd never seen so many colors!
Normally I don't wear bright or vivid colors))
Here's my brave attempt!
