Nepal appoints new living goddess
Being a “kumari”, the living goddess, is a honor for the Nepalese; especially provides a financial support for her parents until she leave this status.

When I saw the news report at the first moment I thought this 3-year-old girl was so fortunate, but afterwards I realized it’s a tragedy for such a little girl. A kumari couldn’t show her smile to others until her first menses comes, that is the time she has to relieve responsibility and back to a normal life.
Somehow it’s not easy to get normal for a ex-kumari, because of her respectful status always keeps everyone away from her and hard to find a man to marry her, so it could leads those adorable girls a lonely life. Instead being a wealthy but restrained and unhappy bird in a cage, I’d rather to be an unrestrained wild cat that I can live my own life at least.
