I believe in you. Trust yourself and your belief.
true we arent allowed inside the temples and also previously they werent allowed into the house itself but luckily for me its not that strict so its okay but its sad that there are people who still follow these especially in rural areas
I might be late on this
But I'll still leave my opinions
People tend to believe in superstitions that make sene but don't know the whole science or 'why' behind it or maybe they just want to ignore it/denie it
The superstitions like a woman is impure during her periods and shouldn't be allowed 'to go to temple' 'in a kichen' thing is that it is not impure it's just the energy of a woman during this time is very sensitive added the fact that during this time bacterias due to the secretion produse smell which is not pleasant and the overall well being is just ...not better
(Jut rest or try stay calm during this time, exertion won't help at all )
I won't justify hate or discrimination against women tho .....it's just these people don't know better or are tough to be like that....just straight up disgusting
And the fact ab being a Hindu bruh
It's too god damn diverse you will find people who worship godess during her periods (yes search them up they existed) in one hand to some thinking they are sinned during this times in the other
i am from nepal. watching this manga made me have many mixed feelings with the way it's presented. Just to get you all informed, nowadays the KUMARIS are given the freedom to have education, play, etc. I have personally met the kumari of kathmandu in real life. Talking about Kumari to be not allowed to laugh seems to be true I guess, cause when I meet her, she was always expressesionless. the thing about curse after the mensuration seems to be believed in the past but nowadays even after the kumari is retired she is still respected.And it is false that the one who must be kumari must be from sita caste but I think it must be shakya caste in general. Still i am always so mad about the hindu religion in general for considering all the women during the period as impure. We are not even allowed to enter the kitchen and the temple areas as it is considered sin towards the god. I am tired of telling my parents that there nothing as sin cause we were made this way by the god himself, it's a natural phenomena but sadly non of the elders believe in me.
