Goddess
A few months ago this Nepali girl was a goddess, now she’s a seventh grader
In Nepal, a centuries old tradition of choosing a young girl as a goddess continues to this day. Nepali Hindus and Buddhists worship this girl, known as a Kumari. They believe she’s a reincarnation of the Hindu goddess, Durga. There are a few different goddesses in the Kathmandu valley. The World’s Sonia Narang spent time with one of them during a trip to Nepal.
