The legend of the living Goddess - La leyenda de la Diosa Viviente, Katmandú - Nepal [00:23]
De todas las excentricidades de la cultura nepalesa, ninguna se iguala a la de la Diosa Virgen Viviente de Katmandú que habita en uno de los palacios de la Plaza Durbar ya quien llaman Kumari. La leyenda comienza hace más de 1.000 años cuando una niña proclamó a viva voz estar poseída por el espíritu de la Diosa Virgen, consejera de las familias reales. El entonces rey, una vez convencido de que esa niña era la reencarnación de la Diosa Virgen, ordenó que le construyeran un templo especial en la Plaza Durbar: el Palacio Kumari Bahal.

Si la niña no se asusta es aclamada como la reencarnación de la Diosa Virgen. Se entiende que un niño que da síntomas de tanta valentía, necesariamente debe haber sido un ser superior en su vida anterior. La trasladan a su Palacio, con su familia y desde ese día hasta la fecha de su primera menstruación, vivirá recluida. Únicamente sale una vez al año, en su procesión y cuando el Rey va a visitarla, también una vez por ...
