Religious activities were avoided by 94.6% of the respondents, 65.5% avoided touching plants and seeds, 67.3% did not cook and enter kitchen, and 44.5% did not consume dairy products during menstruation. The reason for following the practice was culture and tradition (63.9%), family pressure (68.3%), and fear of negative consequences (60.1%). High menstrual stress was reported among 54.5% of the respondents. <br/><br/>Conclusion: Prevalence of Chhaupadi seclusion has been found to be high along with the imposement of various forms of restrictions during menstruation that has yielded negative experiences and various problems in women’s life.
