Kumari Ghar
Kumari Ghar is the residence of the living goddess, known as the Kumari, in Kathmandu, Nepal. This traditional palace is located in the heart of the city and serves as both a home and a temple. The Kumari is a young prepubescent girl chosen from the Newar community, believed to be the physical embodiment of the goddess Taleju.
Visitors can observe the Kumari from a balcony during specific times, as she rarely appears in public. The tradition of the Kumari is an important aspect of Nepalese culture, symbolizing purity and divinity, and it attracts many tourists and devotees alike.
