The only time when a Hindu women is not allowed to do rituals is when she is in her monthly periods. Rest of the time, Hindu women are equally eligible with the men to perform rituals and daily devotions. But there are some Hinduism branches that still do not allow women to be presented in front of the priest or to touch god.
