When a Tibetan girl is sixteen years old, her family will select a good day to hold the ceremony of becoming an adult for her.
At that day, her parents will invite a lucky girl with the same age to wear herhair in two braids, which means that she is old enough to get married. Then the girl will wear the decoration of Patsu and the colorful skirt of Bangdian. Later, the girl's parents, relatives and guests will present her Hadas on congratulation. When the ceremony is over, the girl followed by three or four relatives, goes to the temple wo worship the Buddha statue. After they come back, the family will provide a rich dinner for the guests.
