New Photo of Padmashree!

This photo of Padmashree was taken a couple of days after her 12th birthday, on August 14, 2010. When I saw this picture, I was surprised! (In a good way.) In her last photo, Padmashree looked like, well, a girl. A child. Now she looks like a young woman! I think part of it is the style of dress- I don't know a whole lot about traditional Indian clothing, but based on photos I've seen of other CI girls and young women, this seems to be the clothing of choice/tradition for young women. I did a little google research on Indian women's clothing and found that this outfit is called a half-saree/sari. It consists of a langa (a long skirt), a choli (a short blouse), and a shawl. Full saris are only worn by adult women.
Feel free to correct me if I have made a mistake!
