Why are women who are on their periods are regarded as 'unclean' such that they are prevented in taking an actived part in rituals (Hinduism)?
That's interesting. But why is menstruation considered impure in the first place? Do you know?
The exact reasons why menstruation is considered impure are unclear, but it may be related to the idea that menstruation is associated with blood and the shedding of the uterine lining. Additionally, in Hinduism, menstruation is associated with the reproductive potential of women, which is considered sacred but also can be seen as dangerous or unpredictable.
