Women-Centric Rituals In Hinduism
We always say that Hinduism is not a religion. It is a way of life. That is why, the Hindu life is governed mostly by rituals and customs rather than rules. The rituals in Hinduism thus take on a special significance. The rituals for women are particularly interesting. Women follow a set of rituals in Hinduism that gives them special festivals to celebrate.
There is no dearth of women-centric rituals in Hinduism. That is why Hindu women have a pivotal role in most of the festivals and pujas. Here are some of the most interesting rituals for Hindu women.
