Ordination of Women - Hinduism

Hinduism

There are two types of Hindu priests, purohits and pujaris. Both women and men are ordained as purohits and pujaris.

Furthermore, both men and women are gurus (gurus are teachers of Hinduism but are not always ordained; when they are, it is by their own guru).

Chanda Vyas, born in Kenya, was the first female Hindu priest in the United Kingdom.
