#Firstpost Nepal: 2-Year-Old Girl Chosen As New Living Goddess In Kathmandu | N18G

A two-year-old girl, Aryatara Shakya, was chosen as Nepal’s new “Kumari” and paraded through Kathmandu during the Dashain festival. She replaced the incumbent living goddess, who stepped down after turning 11. The “Kumari” tradition, followed for centuries by the Newar community, requires the goddess to live in seclusion inside a temple palace. Revered by both Hindus and Buddhists, the “Kumari” blesses devotees during festivals and official ceremonies, including the country’s president.
