The Legend Of Goddess Kumari


The Tradition of worshiping God and Goddesses has been existing from the early Human civilization. Throughout the world, People have been worshiping both Divine Mortal God and Divine Spiritual God. Similarly, even today, in some part of the world, People have been worshiping Living god. As such practice comes from Nepal and India where there exist tradition of worshiping young pre-pubescent girls called “Kumari”. The word Kumari derives from Sanskrit word meaning “ Virgin “ which only includes unmarried young girls in Nepal and India. Kumari is name given to young Virgin Girl who is considered to be the God where Hindu Mythological Goddess Durga resides.
