The history of the living goddess of Nepal can be traced back to16th century. Of course, Nepal still has a living goddess. In their eyes, the living goddess is the embodiment of wisdom, which can shelter the world and bring good news to others. However, the living goddesses in Nepal are girls who have not yet grown up.
These goddesses, carefully selected by the Nepalese people, will be admired and worshipped by the Nepalese rulers from top to bottom. Once these girls are chosen as living goddesses, they will break away from the growth and life track of normal children and live alone in temples. In addition to praying for the believers who come to pay homage every day, they will also learn all kinds of boring etiquette knowledge.
The selection criteria for the living goddess of Nepal are very strict. The age of girls should be controlled between 4 and 7 years old, and there are also requirements for girls' family background. They must be Sakya.
A girl who can become a living goddess needs to have no punctate birthmark and no experience of bleeding and illness. Of course, in addition to these rigid requirements for backstage health, those who can be elected as living goddesses have to stand the test.
When choosing the living goddess, these candidate girls will be kept in a room with a buffalo head, and buffalo blood will be spilled on the ground. After a night, we'll see how the girls react. If she is not afraid, she will be calm and this girl will become a living goddess in the hearts of Nepalese people.
