Hinduism gives equal importance to men and women. By picturing Gods and Goddesses, it is shown that Hinduism shows no discrimination. In the religion, women are regarded as the people who can affect the society in a positive way. It is explained that a woman is the person who can make a home bloom with happiness.

Woman as a Mother, Wife and Daughter must be given the due respect and importance. Mother is considered as the first God.

It is told, "Maata, Pita, Guru, Daivam" in the language of Malayalam. It means Maata(Mother) comes first. Then comes Pita(Father). After them are Guru(Teacher) and Daivam(God).

This is what Hinduism teaches about womes.
