She was ceremonially bid farewell with traditional music, rituals, and processions marking the conclusion of her tenure upon reaching puberty. TRISHNA SHAKYAâ€s retirement follows the centuries-old tradition of the Royal Kumari, a young pre-pubescent girl revered as the living incarnation of Goddess Taleju, worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists in Nepal. Her successor, ARYATARA SHAKYA, 2½ years old, has been formally enthroned as the new Royal Kumari at Kumari Ghar on the auspicious day of Asthami.,Image: 1041845789, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no
