Nepal: New Two-Year-old Girl Chosen as Living Goddess
A 2-year-old girl has been anointed as Nepal's new living goddess on Tuesday during the country's longest and most significant Hindu festival. Aryatara Shakya, who is 2 years and 8 months old, was carried by family members from their home in a Kathmandu alley to a temple palace. She was chosen as the new Kumari, or "virgin goddess," as the incumbent is considered by tradition to have become mortal upon reaching puberty.
