Numerous tales and myths circulate concerning the origins of Goddess Kumari. A widely accepted story involves King Jayaprakash Malla engaged in a game of tripasa, a dice game.\n\nSelection of Kumaris is confined to the Newar community. A qualifying aspirant must possess impeccable health, be untouched by any diseases or instances of bleeding, bear no marks or blemishes, and still retain all her baby teeth.\n\nTo validate that she embodies the essence to be the mortal container of the Goddess, the Kumari is subject to a series of strict tests.\n\nHindu mythology holds that a mysterious form of celestial energy is believed to dwell within the Kumari goddess, and she receives meticulous attention from custodians acting as her surrogate parents.

  • There is no guarantee that you will get a chance to see the living goddess. However she appears two times a day, we will manage your timing in such a way that there will be high chances to see her with your own eyes.
