| الملخص: | Vedas are the sacred scriptures of the Hindus for performing rituals and other religious functions. Participation and role of women in the Vedic age is a matter of debate and discussion. Women participation in Vedic rituals such as upanayana, sraddha, agni-sanskara, etc. The role of a wife and daughter, domestic rituals, and widows in Vedic rituals and other practices in which women participated is reflected through Vedic literature. This book reconstructs the role of women from Vedic canonical literature, Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aryankas, Upanishads, and later Sanskrit literature such as Puranas, Epics, Smritis, etc. The author also consulted Vedic and other Sanskrit canon manuscripts obtained from Indian and UK libraries. Highly recommended for those who are interested in the gender and religious history of ancient India. |
