The Psychological Impact of Being a Living Goddess

The Kumari Goddess is a Hindu tradition that has been practiced in Nepal for centuries. It is believed that the Kumari Goddess is an incarnation of the Hindu goddess Taleju, and is worshipped as a living goddess. The tradition of worshipping a living goddess is believed to have originated in the Malla Dynasty, which ruled Nepal from the 12th to the 18th century. The origin of the tradition is believed to have come from the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. In the epic, the goddess Taleju appears to King Jayaprakash Malla in the form of a young girl. The King was so taken by her beauty that he wanted to marry her, but the goddess refused and instead asked him to worship her as a living goddess. The King agreed and the tradition of worshipping a living goddess was born. <a href="https://medium.com/@valanto0litcaaaa/the-psychological-impact-of-being-a-living-goddess-67402fa20732">Website</a>
