In Nepal, a two-year-old girl was chosen as a living goddess

In Nepal, the two — year-old Aryatara Shakya was chosen as the new living embodiment of the Hindu worshiping Goddess Taleju-Kumari.
According to tradition, Kumari is chosen only from girls belonging to the Shakya Buddhist caste, healthy and immature. He succeeded the previous Kumari — Trishna Shakya, who had reached adolescence and returned to normal human quality.
The candidate is required to have no teeth, have never seen blood, and have several of the 32 symptoms of perfection present.
The new Kumari lives in isolation in the palace-she does not go to school, does not play with peers and goes outside only on special occasions mumkin.So and in recent years, some traditional rules are changing — Kumaris are allowed to be educated by special teachers and even watch TV inside the synagogue. The former Kumaris are given a government allowance of $ 110 per month.
