Hindu scriptures exalt the characteristics of the divine feminine as well as the spiritual sameness of masculine and female deities while emphasizing their gender distinctions. The principles of female and male are defined as two halves of a whole. It also highlights the unity of male and female. Emphasis is put on the divine gender equality as well as the ambiguity of men’s and women’s differences. Teachings in Hinduism claim that every human being consists of different degrees of both feminine and masculine characteristics. Many religious texts also highlight that, as far as the right to execute Vedic rites is concerned, there is no distinction between man and female, and they often use gender-neutral language when they talk about god. Hinduism has always worshiped deities in a female nature, such as Shakti. From ancient times until now, women have performed important roles in Hindu society.
