Abstract	Within the existing body of literature on Menstrual Taboos of Religion, more pieces of literature indicate the various perceptions of religion about menstrual taboos, how they restrict women from their religious practices, how various religions treat women when they are in their menstrual periods in the historical and theological descriptions. Some studies critically evaluate the ideological differences of different religions on menstruation as a taboo. Addressing the literature gap, this study collects the narratives of three women who have directly participated in the movements of Sabarimala Women Entry 2019 and explores their experiences and perceptions of the menstrual taboos of religion. Working within a narrative methodology, data was gathered through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed the contents manually.
