South Asia is not just a geographical concept but also a metaphor of exclusion, silencing, and marginalisation of underserved populations (Dutta &amp; Visweswararv, 2019). Drawing on Jyothsna Latha Belliappas arguments on positionality and reflexivity, the findings show that ethnographic frameworks should be adapted to reflect intersectional realities and socio-cultural dynamics. Even though scholarly studies on feminist ethnography exist, there remains a huge gap in scholarship concerning how women researchers navigate kinship and religion in gendered spaces. As a woman ethnographer in the field for five months, I unlearned, re-learned, and co-learned how female nature is inscribed in various cultural locations (Sobritchea, 2002). Rethinking ethnography functions as a knowledge production system rather than merely writing a thick description of the study area. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
