Kumari - Living Goddess - Nepal
November 2007
To believers, Nepal's child goddesses or Kumaris can bestow luck with a glance. But when these children grow up, returning to normal life is virtually impossible.
Girls selected as Kumaris must be aged between two and four and satisfy all the conditions of '32 perfections'. For a few short years, "all Nepalese people worship them" states one woman. But as soon as they experience their first menstruation, they lose their goddess status.

Meena Kumari Tribute
Exactly what the title says. Born as Begum Mahjabeen Bux, she eventually drank herself to death around the time of the release of Pakeezah in 1972. The cinematography in this clip of the song Chalte Chalte, especially at the end, was very fitting I thought - with the lights going out one by one, and ending with the fountain shutting down as the train passes by. Of course, I added the quote at the end. Know what it is?

Kumari, living child goddess
There is a tradition in Nepal that goddess Kumari lives in a body of a little girl. In a short period of her life, girl is treated like a goddess and is living in isolation in a temple. Her feet must not touch the ground, and if she hurts herself and bleeds, or when she comes to puberty, she is losing power of goddess, and she is forced to leave a temple and come back to normal life. Mostly this life is far from normal, because Kumari can never marry. There is a superstition that Kumari brings bad luck to husband. Here is a story about 15 year old Kumari and her adaptation in normal life after life in temple. I apologize because of bad sound.
