Two-year-old Aryatara Shakya was named as Nepal's new Kumari — or virgin goddess — in the capital Kathmandu on Tuesday, Sept.
Aryatara Shakya, at 2 years and 8 months, was chosen as the new Kumari or “virgin goddess,” replacing the incumbent who is considered by tradition to become a mere mortal upon reaching puberty.
Kumaris are chosen between the ages of 2 and 4 years old and live mostly in isolation within the temple until puberty.
