Former Kumari of Nepal returns home; reunites with family
Former Royal Kumari Trishna Shakya has returned home, joyfully reuniting with friends and family and celebrating her return to normal life. The Kumari tradition, rooted in Nepal's Newar community, worships young girls as incarnations of goddess Taleju. Residing in Kathmandu's Kumari Ghar, the Kumari serves until puberty, symbolising Nepal's enduring cultural and spiritual heritage.
