Scientific aspects of Indian traditions with special reference to women

Meenakshi Khanal

Indian society is a well-respected ancient culture in the world based on its values. Each community within the country follows its own set of traditions. Among the traditions, the sacraments mentioned in the Gṛhyasūtras are found to be practiced by the people in the form of religious rites and rituals that have scientific significance. In India, women are at the center of any tradition. So, seers have emphasized rituals regarding the welfare of women also. It is found from the study that taking vermilion (sindūr), applying kumkum, wearing bangles, keeping fast, etc. is not in any way ridiculous but is completely scientific. If we can identify the real goal of these traditions, then our society and nation surely will proceed toward development.

The article has mentioned a brief about Indian tradition in the context of women followed by a scientific aspect and then a conclusion.
