The Living Goddess Kumari of Nepal is a unique cultural and spiritual tradition where a young pre-pubescent girl is venerated as the incarnation of the goddess Taleju, a form of Durga. Selected from the Newar community's Shakya clan, she embodies purity and divine energy, residing in the Kumari Ghar in Kathmandu. Her life is one of reverence, isolation, and ceremonial duties until she reaches puberty. https://amblehimalaya.com/the-living-goddess-kumari #NepalCulture #KumariGoddess #LivingGoddess #Hinduism #Buddhism #KathmanduHeritage
