In many cultures, we have goddesses and we pray them.
But when it comes to reality, women are treated like crap and even they are prohibited from entering temples during the menstrual cycle. What kind of rule is that?
A natural mechanism involved in giving birth is happening and we have prohibited women from entering temples where women are worshipped.
Why do we have this partiality?
Many things have much more to it than what meets the untrained human eye that is often clouded by delusions. To me, it is a tradition.Quote:

Thats why our elders prohibited it. For more clear knowledge watch this below video.Quote:

I think most of the religions prohibited women to entering holy places in their period times, One or two religion allowing it,I think in these days women are physically and emotionally weak so may be our elders set this rule to give them much needed rest.Quote:

Yes it is the ritual or the cultural we are following. Every religion follows a certain culture when it comes on tradition, likewise Hindus are following this.Quote:
