1.Gargi Vachaknavi: she was daughter of rishi "Vachaknu" in the
Clan of rishi "Garg". She became highly knowledgeable in the Vedas & Upanishads.She even surpassed men in her knowledge.She also attended many intellectual debates in her time.For her knowledge of Vedas & Brahmavidya,she was known as "Brahmavadini".She could very well contest
with other Rishi.According to "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad", king Janaka held a "Rajsuya yagna" & invited all the sages.He wanted to select a scholar from the gathering.But there was renowned sage "Yajnavalkya" & no one want to debate with him.But 8 renowned sages including one

The first image is of a Saraswati bigraha from Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple built in early 11th century,clearly shows that devi is also wearing an "Yajna-upabita" (holy threads)
Even in bengal, yajna-upabitas are offered to devi Durga,Laxmi,Saraswati during puja time

If women have right to wear yajna-upabita as well as Brahmin men, then why our feminist didi always use the word "Brahminical patriarchy"????
