In the old Tamil Hindu tradition a young girl who has attained puberty, and experienced her first menstrual cycle, has a celebration welcoming her as a woman in society. Compare and contrast this to a Filipino debutante ball, a tradition where an 18 year old girl is welcomed into society by family and peers as a woman.--Container.
