Former Royal Living Goddess Kumari TRISHNA SHAKYA Retires As Kumari In Nepal
Former Royal Living Goddess Trishna Shakya is welcomed with rituals by her family at her private house in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 30, 2025, following her ceremonial retirement. She is carried from the historic Kumari Ghar with music, rituals, and processions after completing her tenure upon reaching puberty. Celebrated as the living incarnation of Goddess Taleju, she continues to be honored in the centuries-old tradition observed by Hindus and Buddhists alike. Her successor, Aryatara Shakya, 2 1/2 years old, is formally enthroned as the new Royal Kumari at Kumari Ghar on Asthami. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
