Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu recently celebrated her daughter Vidya Nirvana's transition into womanhood with a traditional half saree ceremony.
The 11-year-old's blessing ceremony, also known as Kuturu, was held at Ridhira Retreats in Hyderabad and featured a beautiful setup with fresh flowers, banana leaves, and more.
Lakshmi, who is the daughter of actor Mohan Babu, shared pictures from the ceremony on social media, thanking the entire team for helping her bring the celebration to life.
The ceremony is a traditional South Indian rite of passage that marks a girl's transition from childhood to womanhood, typically held days after her first menstruation.
Vidya was gifted her first half saree by her maternal uncle, and guests were served a traditional feast, including sweets, to mark the occasion.
Lakshmi, who has been in the industry for several years, last starred in the 2025 Telugu film Daksha: The Deadly Conspiracy and the Tamil film Pookie, which released this year.
