@dailymail: A toddler from Nepal has been proclaimed the country’s new ‘Living Goddess’ after taking part in an ancient and secretive ritual. Two-year-old Aryatara Shakya was seen dressed in red robes and black eyeliner at her enthronement in Kathmandu, where she succeeded eight-year-old Trishna Shakya. The Kumari is revered as the living embodiment of the goddess Taleju and is worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists. 🎥Sunil Sharma/ZUMA Press Wire/Shutterstock #nepal #goddess #worldnews

I have never met foreigners especially white peoples hating on Nepal but what’s wrong on comments ?have they forgotten to respect other cultures? It’s not marriage or abusing her it’s called privilege she will live normal life tho

Amely :

Wait, so this is like the ultimate level of toddler pageantry? 😂 Forget princess crowns, she’s got a goddess title at age two. Her life’s already on a whole other level! 😅

people making fun but they have no idea the belief Nepalese Hold on Kumari. She gets education and everything too. Just visit Nepal and look at the aura and belief in Kumari, look at people bowing to her. it's not just superstitious. once you witness it, you will know the reason why Kumari is worshiped. there's a lot of process before choosing Kumari, it's not just random selection.
