In Nepal, menstruation is still surrounded by various cultural taboos, particularly during festivals and religious rituals. If a woman begins menstruating during a festival, she is often prohibited from participating in any rituals or religious activities. Beyond festivals, during menstruation, women are commonly restricted from entering the kitchen or worship rooms, as they are considered impure. These taboos, deeply rooted in traditional beliefs, continue to marginalize menstruating women, preventing them from fully engaging in both social and spiritual life.

In the festival special episode of Gulabi Sambad, we discuss whether traditional menstrual taboos are still relevant or necessary. Although menstruation is a natural process and menstrual blood is not impure, these deep-rooted practices persist in society. In this episode, we engage in an insightful conversation with writer Sarala Gautam, who sheds light on how these superstitions limit women's freedom and overlook their life-giving power. Gautam emphasizes that menstrual taboos stem from a struggle between creativity and awareness.
