Correction Kumari is allowed to walk anywhere in her house (except the ground floor) She is allowed to play devices including Mobile and TV And she is allowed to smile or laugh just not while giving her blessings Your efforts were nice
@@Riza881 yupp and ger family needs to follow certain rules too there are many kumaris in nepal different places has different rule tho some live in their own house by following rules obviously
Kumari puja is also takes place in India. Hi, I am from tripura, kailashahar and kumari puja is also takes place in our ramkrishna ashram. It was said that swami vivekananda first established that kumari puja which was held during our durga puja..
Exactly hi , i am from Kolkata and as i live in belur in belur math ramkrishna mission kumari puja is one of the well known that take place in navami ...
One day a kumari named Chanira Bajracharya started crying and her tears didn't stop upto 3 days and her parents called a priest and the priest told its a sign of bad things to the country.And her parents think the Goddess Taleju was angry and they do a forgive pooja. They had prepared completely but before doing the pooja they received a phone call and in that call somebody told the royal family died and the kumari stopped crying and she said my crying duty is done.
I'm from Kolkata and here in bengali culture , some people do kumari puja on the 8th day of durga puja where some girls who didn't get their periods are being worshipped in front of Ma Durga and get gifts ... ( This was started by Swami Vivekananda, who worshipped 9 girls at Belur Math for the first time in 1901) Through kumari puja, we worship nature and show respect towards woman because women are a form of nature... Kumaris are also being worshipped in Meenakshi temple, Madurai and Kanyakumari....
Bro Nepalese People's are Very Humble And Their Hearts Are So Clean And Soft Thay can Sacrifice In Any Thing's Just Like to Protect Your Country or Others County And I proudeOf My County And Be Proud To be Nepali ❤️🇳🇵
As an Assamese India also contains a festival called Kumari Puja in the 8th day of Durga Puja. A living girl from 3 -12 years can be the Kumari and give blessings to everyone
Yes in our tradition Bengali's Durga Puja the biggest festival where this Kumari Puja happens only one day at Navami Tithi and she gives blessing to everyone after worshiping her and the girl who chooses as a Kumari has no injury or decease and as who becomes Kumari must be innocent so she maybe in 3 to 10 yrs old.. But what is said in this video about Nepali tradition it's totally different and dengerous and later makes some negetive problems in her life... It's too much as per my opinion i don't wanna disrespect their tradition but also because she leads a different life than others for a long time it's harmful for living a normal life after.. that's it!! 😢😢
@@sahelighosh6530 Yes it true. Though where I live the kumari puja is not that infamous or practiced. I was also worshipped as a kumari by a household but it was not such a intense process. At Navami, the household took care of a few girls including me then worship us and then fed us. Though it has been years since I am not a kumari, I still maintain my relationship with the respective household.
This was honestly a good video, educated people enough about the Kumari tradition in Nepal. I really thought u did your research on kumari but wikipedia se sara details nikala hai lol
I'm Indian nepali n I visit Nepal mostly coz my granny is there n the way you've explained this specific tradition is really remarkable. I've heard about "The Kumari" tradition through my granny n also have read about it. It's fascinating as well as disappointing, the phase a girl child goes through after she is dethroned is mentally devastating. Really appreciate your work n can see the hard work done ❤️.
As a bengali, even i was being worshipped on the 8th day of Durga Puja every year till I got my periods.. it is known as the kumari puja. Here we're being worshipped, then they gave the goddess prasad and also gifts.. i never understood why i was being treated that way then, aaj pata chla.. it's so similar to this but thoda differences v h, like we were allowed to walk and talk on our own and har saal bs ekdin k liye ye sab hota tha. Btw, great work shrinkhal
@@MOTIVATIONALQUOTES24348 no. It's somewhat similar but not completely.. bs har saal ekdin k liye puja krte the humlog ko.. aur baat krna, khudse chlna wagera allowed tha..
You did a great job shrinkhal,me myself being a nepali had no idea of any of these stories,Nepal is so vast in terms of cast and cultures that we ourselves have a lot to discover but still you did good with all your resources,it felt like i was watching a mini documentary lol.
Correction: When Kumari is being selected she will be kept in a dark room alone and there is saying that ghost will come to her. She has to stay in that room for 1 night. She had to live with ghost in that room. And ghost will try to make her scared. But if she stays then she will be a Kumari but if she scream then she will be disqualified 😢 And many girls had died in this culture. There is a real haunted story of a girl disqualified to be a kumari named "Matina"
Kumari just does not mean virgin . In Nepal kumari has different meaning . In nepal those female who have not become adult are know as Kumari, Kumari also means Princess , Kumari also means virgin and lastly kumari is associated with taleju . ( like wise for male it kumar ). There are lot of misconceptions about our tradition and lack of knowledge. So let us 1st understand why we celebrate kumari jatra . Kumari jatra is celebrated to show respect to the female in the society , to show how female should be treated in the society and mainly to respect their consent . { Also people might complain why does kumari have to leave their position once they had their menstruation is becuz once they become adult they can make their own decisions and it means they can choose their own path . Something which ws restricted for female in the past all around the world . Kumari are replaced to show tht female can choose their own path and take/make their own decisions . Back in the days it portrayed female rights to choose } . Kumari jatra is such an old tradition that give female their right . Back in the day all round the world female did not have these rights . But our tradition and culture gave female these rights .Thus it is unique and very much important celebration. Now tht we know y we celebrate this jatra lets talk about other impo thingh that people don't understand . As Kumari also means Princess and kumari jatra is very old tradition as well as Kumari is associated with taleju . The selection process is also old fashion . Selection process goes like Kumari need to be fair ( it doesn't not mean they hav to be white being fair does not mean being white for those who think this way , it a westerner concept not our ) , kumari should not have a mole and kumari should not have a scratch in her body , kumari eyes should be sharp, kumari should be fearless. + in the kumari selection house only Females and female priest are allowed no men is allowed even if they are male priest . Only the father of the child is allowed . N'd During selection process father stays outside the room and the mother or any other female relatives help the child to undress to check the following conditions of being kumari . ( Side note : As i have already said before it a old tradition. This type of selection conditions was very common for the choosing the Princess all around the world . Like for eg china , korea , Japan , Thailand , Malaysia , Indonesia. ) Again The misconceptions of Not letting kumari read or write is not true . Back in the day people use to train those children to read and write ancient script that the kumari needs to know . Those script weren't normal script those scripts are more vast than the normal script so the kumari used to have more knowledge than the average person Back in the day it was through script people used to gain the knowledge ( like bharmins did ) N'd in the present day too kumari are given the required education they need . A home teacher is assigned to teach just kumari about the basic knowledge they need to cope up with the outer world. Again the misconceptions of kumari not being allowed to touch the ground or meet outsider or not allowed to be happy or smile is a misconceptions. Kumari can't touch the ground only during jatra or just when she is moved from one location to other. Kumari are allowed to touch the ground inside the kumari ghar , they are allowed to play and meet their friends and family . They are also allowed to smile . Its just that kumari can't smile during the ritual or the time of main jatra . As According to one of kimbadanti : When taleju came to the earth as a young adult who hav reached her adulthood . Men harassed her while harassing she shedded tears and when they did not stop she gave them a smile (smirk) in return without saying anything to which the men who harassed her became uncomfortable and felt a kind of unease so they stopped harassing her and when she left the place and the men realised something was off . So they followed her and finally she showed her real self and disappeared . After that the men realised their mistake and had to go through various misfortune in life leading to their dead . Thus it is said that if the kumari gives a smile to a person that means tht the godess taleju can see pass through the people past life , future and their sin . So if kumari smile at you it basically mean she can see your Sins that you may have done , mistake that you have made in past and the time you have left to live . But when she smile at u it also means she might put a curse on you even if the person is innocent person . Leading to something bad in life Therefore kumari can smile in the normal day but she should not smile during the ritual or jatra . ( she isn't forced tho it's her choice whether she smile or not . She he has smiled many time in the past or cried which had lead to misfortune to the entire nation like dead of the our monarchy leading to it becoming the last monarchy of Nepal many people died because of it , different year earthquake , floods etc . she is given an instruction not to smile during the jatra and the consequences of her smiling but again it her wish )
Just to Mention but Newar culture give a lot of importance to uplifting of females in the society Like in past when the husband of a female died they had to be widows for the entire life and they could not have any colour except for white or any form of enjoyment in their life but in Newa culture young female child ( age from 6 to 7 ideal age or 10-12 age } is married to bel a kind of fruit tht last long for years and years then later they are married to sun which is immortal and finally we marry a human form of husband . So even if a Newa female's husband died they had to wear white for certain day to respect the dead one's but once those day are gone they could wear colourful dresses , enjoy life and re-marry if they wanted ( remarriage wasn't something very common tho ) cause only their human form of husband died but the immortal husband is still alive so once the human husband dies they become widow but not completely.
So according to you if they r separated from the society and given everything it will keep them happy?? Just imagine yourself in that position. Okay I will give you a raj mahal, with all food, education, clothes and everything u need for certain years and then I will tell go outside because now u can choose your path, will you be that efficient like normal human beings? Do y know psychology? Read human psychology books please? I respect culture and traditions of course. That doesn't mean for the benefits of country and citizens and in name of culture u will torture those small kids? It may praise lots of other citizens or a symbol to show see female are well respected and can do everything,but still it is a torture for those small kids as they can not lead normal lives for at least 10 to 12 years. Keep yourself or your daughter in that place and then think about the future consequences. There's an old story of a parrot. King brought the parrot from a jungle and let it live in a gold panjuri and thought he is doing great for the parrot, but parrot is a free bird, so although the parrot had every luxury and sufficient food, still it wasn't Happy with its life and it's health got deteriorated with time. When King asked the parrot about it, the parrot told I accept u gave me everything but u took the freedom out of me, which was the biggest happiness for me in my life and your so called luxury is like a prison for me. I hope you can understand my thoughts after reading the short story. I'm not here to change anything or disrespect, just told you my own thoughts.. Take care
@@sudattasud3294 i would suggeste you to watch some interviews of past girls who have been kumari ... they talk about being kumari and their experiences of being kumari . They were more pleased to be kumari and honoured to live life as kumari . If u Don't know the culture and if you haven't see it with ur own eye shut your mouth up !! One of the adult lady you see in vedio as well choose herself to be kumari even after she had the choice to leave the life of being kumari . she decided to stay and live as a kumari . It not like we force them to be kumari they are very much given the choice to leave the position of beings the kumari . There are atlest 3 kumari chosen during the selection process . There is the 1st kumari which is the main kumari and the other two are the substituted kumari If the main kumari is sick or she does not want to be kumari after being chosen as kumari she can refuse to live as kumari. Thus come the role 2nd kumari which replaces the originally that had been chosen to be main kumari . Till now there aren't kumari that wanted to leave their position of being kumari. Yet there were kumari that had to be replaced because of the sickness . So would you just shut up !! Like can't you read it an OLD tradition back in the day female were treated as trash ... this tradition uplift the female energy . even the KING bow down to her feet . When the Royal British family came to Nepal they as well Bow down to her 😑🙄 . So stop with all the child abuse aligation and all that shit if you haven't seen with your own eye or experience the culture by yourself . Yes there are good and bad things that needs to be shown . Yes i do agree with that but if you won't do the deeper research about certain matter that you are talking about then its always gonna end up like this . AND no they don't have to live as kumari for 10 to 15 years . They have to leave immediately ( which does take some time for the ritual and stuff but yah ) once they have reached their adulthood ie their period 🤦♀️ . It a mental trauma says an outsider that haven't seen or experience it ( the irony ). Well i will take it in a form of concern , so hope you get to learn more things and hopefully you will do some further more research about this topic before commenting. I did not just comment randomly to just make things up . I comment becauz many things weren't mention in the vedio which was nessecary to mentioned or else ppl would go around saying it a kind of torture or wht if we sexual abuse them and bhal bhal bhal . Trust me no UA-camr in general start with the main things that is why we celebrate it . They directly jump into saying there is a living godess and blah blah blah like they might talk about selection process but they wont emphasise on the fact that its an old tradition thus the selectio processis like that . They talk about kumari need to be fair but they wont mention that in Nepal being fair does not mean being white . This all creates a negative image of our culture when in reality it quite the opposite of it . They would talk abt our culture as if we are doing some kind of illegal activity. For the kindness info there is not just a living goddess but also 2 living god which are ganesh and kuber . They live the same life as kumari yet people won't talk abt them . Also during the main event we pull the rath on the 1st day kumari ruth are pulled only with men portraiting that we female can do task like men does . It to show we are equal to them . It shows tht its not only men that can pull the rath . We do that to show our respect to her as well . It the sisterhood or girlhood lets say . Now take this tradition and think abut the early 17 , 18 and 19 centuries. Imagine this tradition back then . You as a whole community had to be strong enough to break the world stereotypes of being a female . If you do join our tradition to the historical time you would automatically see the importance but if you can't then wht do i say on tht . This might come off rude yet tht not my intention but I'm not gonna lie i am kinda pissed off by the aligation that the people put in My Culture .
Taleju used to comes at night to play tripasa with the king.once king watch taleju with bad intention taleju got angry and never came back after that.The king asked to forgive him and requested so much after that taleju said she will come back in a girl who is virgin and pure Buddhist Newari girl called shakya caste this is the true story ❤
One question Though being a hindu goddess another form of goddess durga I guess Why was the requirement that the girl must be buddhist? Wouldn't it have made more sense for kumari to be made from those community who are shakti worshipper instead of a buddhist?
@@xenonezio5188there's no requirement that Kumari have to be from Buddhist community. Maybe Shrinkhal didn't do enough research but Kumaris are from both Hindu and Buddhist communities.☺
@@xenonezio5188 Kumari is made from Newar community. And mainly Newar community either follow Hindu religion or Buddhism. Its not mandatory that she should be Buddhist, as long as she is from Newar community, and her birthchart or requirements are matched, she is made as kumari.
During Durga puja In bengal on the 8th day(also called ashtami) Kumari puja is done to a girl between 3-10 years...during that puja the girl would be dressed in saree and she is worshipped as maa durga but after the puja is done she then becomes a normal girl roaming and doing each and everything...this puja is kinda similar
I'm a Newari and I thank you Shrinkhal Dai for posting a video on our Nepali culture and traditions I hope to see more of these and huge support from Nepal 🇳🇵I hope you'll be creating more of the videos on Nepali culture❤and yes I hope you stay happy and healthy 💖🙏 Namaste Dai 😊❤ Dai(Big Brother).
As a Nepali , I can say this video is commendable ❤️🔥 The research is well put . And no offense for pronunciation mistake . 💯 on 💯 for well - researched video and presentation ❤️🔥👏
The most traumatising part i found was about the dead bodies, thats gonna scar the child forever. Pplhave corrected or talked about other parts of the videos but no one mentioned this, why didnt govt take out this part particularly
One of the former Kumari, Rashmila Shakya have particularly mentioned that no such rituals were being followed during the selection process. - Now we do sacrifice hundreds of animals during festivities and their head are kept as an offering in the temple. It is a common view during the festivals like Dashain. But participants arent left in there alone with all those mutilated bodies. - Foreigners use these kind of misinformation to make their arguement exotic and convincing to the world without seeking a second opinion. Thats really sad!
As a nepali and newari myself, I can not imagine having to be kumari. I deeply respect the kumari's from what they've gone through, I could never have cuz like even the thought of animals makes me shiver💀💀 my buddist newari close friend once said that she'd wish to be a kumari but ma'am don't know whats in for her👲👲
What do you mean by buddhist newar and hindu newar , what are you trying to say . Its simply just newar not hindu or budhist , newar dont have anything to do with hindu or buddhist. Its just newar.
Newar is cast not a religion Nepal is know as country of Hindusm because more than 80% population of Nepal are Hindus and in that 80% Many cast come's under it like Newar ,magar ,tamang ,chettri who worship same god as all hindus worship lord Shiva , Lord Ganesh@@sikasbkoju3715
@@samirgopali-p7g hahahaha, nahh broo newa is tribe which is indegineous not caste at all newar is tribe from ancient period., kumari is newa goddess not hindu or buddhist. Hindu and buddhist both can follow newa. If you don't know anything about newa then don't say anything fake and scam others. It just because govt has failed to recognise , and govt is not sincere in nepal. There are buddhist too. I don't agree Nepal having 80% Hindu. Many people don't know to differentiate. Anyway Nepal is secular country these kind of religious talk doesn't make sense to us.
It's true but why he won million of hearts? He was just bornt there also the republic in which he was born had capitals in both countries and he become Gautam from Siddharth in India only by doing studies and getting enlighment in India
having to walk on the dead bodies of animals and shutting a 3-5 year old baby girl in a dark room full of dead heads of the animals is truely traumatizing.
Whether she cries or not, that will negatively impact her mind. And its not just the girl who ultimately becomes the Kumari, but all the other girls who give the test. A child should not be exposed to such brutality. Trauma is a real thing and you never know how it manifests.
As a Nepali, I didn't even know about Kumari such detailly 😮❤thank you so much for letting a lot of people know about this culture and it's both positive and negative sides❤😊
@@munashrestha3177 girl I said detailly. don't try to be too smart 🤓 nobody has knowledge about everything okay.. 😔?and who r u to tell shame on me? Do u know me well?

Before going to the content of kumari , how he has beautifully portray our country Nepal , Nepalese tradition, Nepalese culture. Thank you for presenting our culture and our tradition so beautifully and letting people know about The Living goddess," KUMARI" 🇳🇵Means alot♥️ We really appreciate your hard work and dedication👏👏
I am a Nepali and I have always been intrigued by the Kumari tradition. Although I am not from the Newari community, many of my relatives and friends belong to it, which is why I came across the Kumari culture. When I first heard about it, I decided to do some research and discovered everything that was mentioned in the video. It brought up mixed emotions for me, especially when I learned about the dark path and the way to select a Kumari. One thing that the video didn't mention is that people tend to avoid associating with a former Kumari once she's dethroned because it's believed that she brings bad luck to those around her. This culture and belief have been running for ages and may not be easily changed, but I hope that people can bring some changes to this tradition so that little girls can enjoy their childhood, live like normal children, and have a normal life ahead of them.
I am sorry to offend nepalees but I think this tradition is not good. They should now abolish it, it is actually harming the lives of small kids who don't even know what is happening with them.
@priyankakumarisingh4511 you should watch some interviews of the previous kumari and then decide if any harm was done to them. Actually, they take pride in the culture despite many hassles to reintegrate into the society. Also, many things have changed. They are provided with tutor and education materials and some Kumaris are even happily married. I think it's a lifestyle that is not mainstream rather than child abuse.
as a nepali i can say you very well put together all the info. everyone watching this can say a lot of time and research went into this and actually stated facts. well done, my fav shrikhand ;)
same my nani is from nepal and she was married in india ...but still after marriage..my nani village is just few km from nepal border .....many cultures are same to same ....i visit nepal very frequently and love the people there and the environment ❤

Its not even too dark, i was classmate with the former kumari of kathmandu and during her reign there ahe was provided education from our school and our teacher used to go kumari ghar ko teach her and sometimes our teacher used to take us to meet her so that we can socialize and be friend with her after her tenure is over😮💨
Is she ok? Like psychologically and mental health wise? Walking in a room of dead animals at such a young age might be traumatic for so many. Don’t take me wrong I’m just wondering how it works.
I will never accept any godess will leave waya their child when they face deadly pain of periods, even not allowing praying girls on their periods., I'm a BHAKT, eventually not an ANDHBHAKT.
I am Indian and I am Hindu ...and in our family my dad always tells me about the stories of our religion and count Gautam bhudda stories too in our culture ❤
I respect the way you explain every single thing also I like how sensitivity you present this story without hurting anybody culture and people feeling ❤❤so much respect for you 😊😊😊
You must have been wondering why there is an old lady as a KUMARI if one of the conditions is that they shouldn’t have periods. This is shocking. She had her first periods after her 50s .
When the royal massacre happened in nepal in 2058 bs where the king's family was murdered the existing Kumari cried continuously from 3 days up to the day of massacre and then she stopped and said "my duty to cry has been finished now" with a smile on her face This is told by the former Kumari herself there's no evident reason as why she cried, maybe it's a sign from the goddess
This kumari puja is also a tradition in our west bengal not only nepal.. aur i think yeh pure india me bhi hota hai kumari puja bohot log karte hain chhoti bacchiyon ki kumari puja.. mujhe yaad hai jab mein chhoti thi tab meri puri family up mein rehti thi and up mein mujhe bhi kumari puja ke liye chuna gaya tha.. and mere kaafi friends ko bhi bohot baar kumari puja ke liye chuna gaya tha.. so yeh "kumari puja" west bengal mein toh hoti hai aur India me bhi bohut se jagah par hoti.. i told it just because if you didn't knew it before... But the process are Not like how Nepal's kumari puja does 😢
Hi Shrinkhal brother i am from Nepal and i'm truly impressed as how you described Nepal in the begining of the video and also described about this tradition in such a facinating way.Love from Nepal🤩☺
Saw a documentary on discovery 15-20 years ago as a child. Fascinated by this. The details were amazing. Glad to know about the history behind this tradition. Lots of love ❤️
I am impressed that you know the Nepali culture I am also an Nepali and after seeing this video and I am really scared from kumari thanks for making this video for this information ❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Namaste!! A lot of support from Nepal I would like to thank him so much for this video. Even tho I belong to Nepal I almost didn't know about some facts about Kumari. It was such a informative video. Note:- Tiktok is banned in Nepal too so we can't listen on Tiktok. There's 145+ language according to new data. I'm sorry but I literally laughed when he pronounced 'Malla' as माला instead of मल्ल. It's fine though.
Yeah we too in nepal , our elder perform ritul like kumari puja on Durga puja in every home. Like jo ladki 9-12 saal sey kam sey kam hein usko devi ke rup mein puja jata hein .. but the thing mentioned in video is very specific in Kathmandu.
There's a webtoon called ' for the sake of sita' that is about same tradition. A anime was going air but due to some religious aspects it was banned. 😢
Of course, it was because the webtoon was a disgusting piece of work, showing a bastardised version of a proud Nepalese tradition. Would you be happy knowing your country's Princess is portrayed as a prostitute?
But they can't talk with people can't smile in public place.. They are just being isolated in a home for 8 to 10 years and then suddenly they have to live a normal life.. How that can be normal?
@@triyashasamanta4244 they can talk with public, only during puja they can't. I visited kumari house during my childhood and played with kumari..she was so friendly. She use to love candy , I gave her 🍬
As a Nepali it is very first time i heard about this and I'm very very disappointed knowing this side of nepal and hard to believe as i never saw such cruelty in the name of religion around me not even from my parents it is totally disgusting 💔
I am glad that you made a video on this topic I am really attached to the culture of Nepal more than my own culture as an Indian I was born and raised here in Kathmandu and the culture of Nepal is on another level, I did know some of the stories related to the goddess kumari you really did an amazing job keep going
A big thank you here you have covered it so well and have compared the other side. ppl don't let Kumari walk because Dharti is a Mata and meeting up with the two gods can create a problem or destruction and your reason is right also. Whatever LOVE YOU...!!!!
Hi, I'm from Nepal, born and brought up in Kathmandu, your story telling style is really good. Nothing is offensive and story was told very beautifully. Thank you, Now you have touched the "Newari culture" do research on (Gufa culture in Newari community) and (Urban ledgend) from same community. You can get a hunted, horror episodes. Lots and love 💓
I know it's connected to religious sentiments but this Kumari tradition is extremely injustice with those girls. Because when she grows up and starts getting her periods she has to live a very bad life , she can't marry so she has to live her entire life in a temple begging for her basic needs 😢
Wtf. She gets homeschooled by best tutor while being kumari. They gives exam too inside the palace. Later they can Marry and do jobs. She gets respected and long life benefits from government. We Nepalese don't even beg.
Who told you all this nonsense? They can happily get married, get education even while they are Kumaris and make friends. Learn properly before spreading lies.
I know you from the time you used to react on tiktok vidoes and finally nowadays you're getting the recognition you deserve. It makes my heart so happy❤
22 years ago when the royal kumari cried for 3 days long. Nonstop Royal massacres took place and later before the gorkha earthquake shri kumari maiju cried.. As old tradition has been reformed too They are getting education and all form of life touch while being kumari .. For better knowledge please watch out the video of ex kumari maiju interviews . Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
I read the whole thing few years ago. The concept was good and the end was mindblowing. But actually, that is not how a dethroned Kumari is treated in reality.
One suggestion for you, when you research about Nepal and Nepal related things, it will be easier for you to pronounce the names correctly if u search for them in devnagari (देवनागरी).. because we use the same script.. you would have been able to pronounce the words like तलेजु, मल्ल, दशैं etc correctly if you had searched for the names in Nepali language... not for everything ofcourse, we speak different languages but when u are not sure about certain pronunciations
There’re interviews of former kumaris in UA-cam who have shared their experiences. They’ve clearly mentioned they were happy to serve goddess and they felt goddess’s presence in their body.
Huge fan from Kathmandu Nepal...you should define an unique festival indrajatra when goddess Kumari is being worshipped and came out from kumarighar and publicly shown to the people by putting Kumari in the chariot...this festival is grand festival of Kathmandu
Whenever I see documentry or videos about kumaris I never once thought they were privileged. I always used to pitty them. They are kinda victims in the name of religion
Lets just give round of clouses to shrinkal because of how he puts his efforts in searching the right info and giving the best output for us Hats off to you man 👏👏👏👏
Just Thankyouu for covering this topic. Highly appreciated as a Nepali although you missed some important points. Btw Tiktok just got ban in Nepal as well.
Tq so much to SR PAY I am from Nepal 🇳🇵 and I am newar and we usual have so much faith on the goddess kumari and it is believed that if the goddess show any emotion bad thing will happen I am so thankful that you uncovered the dark truth of our culture tq so much ❤❤ I really like your content and I wish to see you grow more ❤❤ tq so much
Shrinkhal, sweetheart... I hope you take this positively, the life of Kumari isn't as cruel as you framed it to be. The buffalos and goats are not sacrificed during the selection process, idk where you got this info from. Also, their family can frequently visit them and they actually do get married later on and live a normal life without any difficulties. The only skeptical thing is the whole not being able to speak and walk, but other than that I think you overdid it a little bit. Still, loved it♥
I'm also nepali but I feel like this tradition is somewhat cruel..the age where they have to make friends have fun ..they r made to do all this so I think its really wrong
I belong to newari community and the real story is King Jaya Prakash malla and Taleju aajima they used to play dice every night and one night King saw feet of ajima taleju Her feets were so fascinating that he got attracted to ajima and as she was god she knew what king is thinking so she disappeared after that King realized his mistake and did Xyama puja (apology puja) and ajima came to his dream and said that You will find a girl with 32 gunas then I will live in her till her first period also King himself is a newari king and ajima taleju is kuldevi of nepali kings

Kumari is allowed to walk anywhere in her house (except the ground floor)
She is allowed to play devices including Mobile and TV
And she is allowed to smile or laugh just not while giving her blessings

Kumari puja is also takes place in India. Hi, I am from tripura, kailashahar and kumari puja is also takes place in our ramkrishna ashram. It was said that swami vivekananda first established that kumari puja which was held during our durga puja..

One day a kumari named Chanira Bajracharya started crying and her tears didn't stop upto 3 days and her parents called a priest and the priest told its a sign of bad things to the country.And her parents think the Goddess Taleju was angry and they do a forgive pooja. They had prepared completely but before doing the pooja they received a phone call and in that call somebody told the royal family died and the kumari stopped crying and she said my crying duty is done.

I'm from Kolkata and here in bengali culture , some people do kumari puja on the 8th day of durga puja where some girls who didn't get their periods are being worshipped in front of Ma Durga and get gifts ... ( This was started by Swami Vivekananda, who worshipped 9 girls at Belur Math for the first time in 1901)
Through kumari puja, we worship nature and show respect towards woman because women are a form of nature...
Kumaris are also being worshipped in Meenakshi temple, Madurai and Kanyakumari....

As an Assamese India also contains a festival called Kumari Puja in the 8th day of Durga Puja. A living girl from 3 -12 years can be the Kumari and give blessings to everyone
Yes in our tradition Bengali's Durga Puja the biggest festival where this Kumari Puja happens only one day at Navami Tithi and she gives blessing to everyone after worshiping her and the girl who chooses as a Kumari has no injury or decease and as who becomes Kumari must be innocent so she maybe in 3 to 10 yrs old.. But what is said in this video about Nepali tradition it's totally different and dengerous and later makes some negetive problems in her life... It's too much as per my opinion i don't wanna disrespect their tradition but also because she leads a different life than others for a long time it's harmful for living a normal life after.. that's it!! 😢😢
Heh? Ketiya? 😭
@@sahelighosh6530 Yes it true. Though where I live the kumari puja is not that infamous or practiced. I was also worshipped as a kumari by a household but it was not such a intense process. At Navami, the household took care of a few girls including me then worship us and then fed us. Though it has been years since I am not a kumari, I still maintain my relationship with the respective household.

Correction:
When Kumari is being selected she will be kept in a dark room alone and there is saying that ghost will come to her. She has to stay in that room for 1 night. She had to live with ghost in that room. And ghost will try to make her scared. But if she stays then she will be a Kumari but if she scream then she will be disqualified 😢
And many girls had died in this culture. There is a real haunted story of a girl disqualified to be a kumari named "Matina"
Is it real?
As a Bengali .. in Durga Puja's in the day of Astami A tredition of Kumari Puja is celebrate in West Bengal ❤
Ami ei comment tai khujchilam 😅❤
Kumari just does not mean virgin . In Nepal kumari has different meaning . In nepal those female who have not become adult are know as Kumari, Kumari also means Princess , Kumari also means virgin and lastly kumari is associated with taleju . ( like wise for male it kumar ).
There are lot of misconceptions about our tradition and lack of knowledge. So let us 1st understand why we celebrate kumari jatra .
Kumari jatra is celebrated to show respect to the female in the society , to show how female should be treated in the society and mainly to respect their consent . { Also people might complain why does kumari have to leave their position once they had their menstruation is becuz once they become adult they can make their own decisions and it means they can choose their own path . Something which ws restricted for female in the past all around the world . Kumari are replaced to show tht female can choose their own path and take/make their own decisions . Back in the days it portrayed female rights to choose } . Kumari jatra is such an old tradition that give female their right . Back in the day all round the world female did not have these rights . But our tradition and culture gave female these rights .Thus it is unique and very much important celebration.
Now tht we know y we celebrate this jatra lets talk about other impo thingh that people don't understand .
As Kumari also means Princess and kumari jatra is very old tradition as well as Kumari is associated with taleju . The selection process is also old fashion . Selection process goes like Kumari need to be fair ( it doesn't not mean they hav to be white being fair does not mean being white for those who think this way , it a westerner concept not our ) , kumari should not have a mole and kumari should not have a scratch in her body , kumari eyes should be sharp, kumari should be fearless.
+ in the kumari selection house only Females and female priest are allowed no men is allowed even if they are male priest . Only the father of the child is allowed . N'd During selection process father stays outside the room and the mother or any other female relatives help the child to undress to check the following conditions of being kumari .
( Side note : As i have already said before it a old tradition. This type of selection conditions was very common for the choosing the Princess all around the world . Like for eg china , korea , Japan , Thailand , Malaysia , Indonesia. )
Again The misconceptions of Not letting kumari read or write is not true . Back in the day people use to train those children to read and write ancient script that the kumari needs to know . Those script weren't normal script those scripts are more vast than the normal script so the kumari used to have more knowledge than the average person
Back in the day it was through script people used to gain the knowledge ( like bharmins did ) N'd in the present day too kumari are given the required education they need . A home teacher is assigned to teach just kumari about the basic knowledge they need to cope up with the outer world.
Again the misconceptions of kumari not being allowed to touch the ground or meet outsider or not allowed to be happy or smile is a misconceptions.
Kumari can't touch the ground only during jatra or just when she is moved from one location to other.
Kumari are allowed to touch the ground inside the kumari ghar , they are allowed to play and meet their friends and family . They are also allowed to smile .
Its just that kumari can't smile during the ritual or the time of main jatra . As According to one of kimbadanti :
When taleju came to the earth as a young adult who hav reached her adulthood . Men harassed her while harassing she shedded tears and when they did not stop she gave them a smile (smirk) in return without saying anything to which the men who harassed her became uncomfortable and felt a kind of unease so they stopped harassing her and when she left the place and the men realised something was off . So they followed her and finally she showed her real self and disappeared . After that the men realised their mistake and had to go through various misfortune in life leading to their dead .
Thus it is said that if the kumari gives a smile to a person that means tht the godess taleju can see pass through the people past life , future and their sin . So if kumari smile at you it basically mean she can see your Sins that you may have done , mistake that you have made in past and the time you have left to live .
But when she smile at u it also means she might put a curse on you even if the person is innocent person . Leading to something bad in life
Therefore kumari can smile in the normal day but she should not smile during the ritual or jatra . ( she isn't forced tho it's her choice whether she smile or not . She he has smiled many time in the past or cried which had lead to misfortune to the entire nation like dead of the our monarchy leading to it becoming the last monarchy of Nepal many people died because of it , different year earthquake , floods etc . she is given an instruction not to smile during the jatra and the consequences of her smiling but again it her wish )
Just to Mention but Newar culture give a lot of importance to uplifting of females in the society Like in past when the husband of a female died they had to be widows for the entire life and they could not have any colour except for white or any form of enjoyment in their life but in Newa culture young female child ( age from 6 to 7 ideal age or 10-12 age } is married to bel a kind of fruit tht last long for years and years then later they are married to sun which is immortal and finally we marry a human form of husband . So even if a Newa female's husband died they had to wear white for certain day to respect the dead one's but once those day are gone they could wear colourful dresses , enjoy life and re-marry if they wanted ( remarriage wasn't something very common tho ) cause only their human form of husband died but the immortal husband is still alive so once the human husband dies they become widow but not completely.
Thanks for this great information.
So according to you if they r separated from the society and given everything it will keep them happy?? Just imagine yourself in that position. Okay I will give you a raj mahal, with all food, education, clothes and everything u need for certain years and then I will tell go outside because now u can choose your path, will you be that efficient like normal human beings? Do y know psychology? Read human psychology books please?
I respect culture and traditions of course. That doesn't mean for the benefits of country and citizens and in name of culture u will torture those small kids?
It may praise lots of other citizens or a symbol to show see female are well respected and can do everything,but still it is a torture for those small kids as they can not lead normal lives for at least 10 to 12 years. Keep yourself or your daughter in that place and then think about the future consequences.
There's an old story of a parrot. King brought the parrot from a jungle and let it live in a gold panjuri and thought he is doing great for the parrot, but parrot is a free bird, so although the parrot had every luxury and sufficient food, still it wasn't Happy with its life and it's health got deteriorated with time. When King asked the parrot about it, the parrot told I accept u gave me everything but u took the freedom out of me, which was the biggest happiness for me in my life and your so called luxury is like a prison for me.
I hope you can understand my thoughts after reading the short story. I'm not here to change anything or disrespect, just told you my own thoughts..
Take care
@@Ananya_Sharma1 are you veg
@@sudattasud3294 i would suggeste you to watch some interviews of past girls who have been kumari ... they talk about being kumari and their experiences of being kumari . They were more pleased to be kumari and honoured to live life as kumari . If u Don't know the culture and if you haven't see it with ur own eye shut your mouth up !!
One of the adult lady you see in vedio as well choose herself to be kumari even after she had the choice to leave the life of being kumari . she decided to stay and live as a kumari .
It not like we force them to be kumari they are very much given the choice to leave the position of beings the kumari . There are atlest 3 kumari chosen during the selection process . There is the 1st kumari which is the main kumari and the other two are the substituted kumari
If the main kumari is sick or she does not want to be kumari after being chosen as kumari she can refuse to live as kumari. Thus come the role 2nd kumari which replaces the originally that had been chosen to be main kumari .
Till now there aren't kumari that wanted to leave their position of being kumari. Yet there were kumari that had to be replaced because of the sickness .
So would you just shut up !! Like can't you read it an OLD tradition back in the day female were treated as trash ... this tradition uplift the female energy . even the KING bow down to her feet . When the Royal British family came to Nepal they as well Bow down to her 😑🙄 . So stop with all the child abuse aligation and all that shit if you haven't seen with your own eye or experience the culture by yourself .
Yes there are good and bad things that needs to be shown . Yes i do agree with that but if you won't do the deeper research about certain matter that you are talking about then its always gonna end up like this .
AND no they don't have to live as kumari for 10 to 15 years . They have to leave immediately ( which does take some time for the ritual and stuff but yah ) once they have reached their adulthood ie their period 🤦♀️ .
It a mental trauma says an outsider that haven't seen or experience it ( the irony ). Well i will take it in a form of concern , so hope you get to learn more things and hopefully you will do some further more research about this topic before commenting. I did not just comment randomly to just make things up . I comment becauz many things weren't mention in the vedio which was nessecary to mentioned or else ppl would go around saying it a kind of torture or wht if we sexual abuse them and bhal bhal bhal .
Trust me no UA-camr in general start with the main things that is why we celebrate it . They directly jump into saying there is a living godess and blah blah blah like they might talk about selection process but they wont emphasise on the fact that its an old tradition thus the selectio processis like that . They talk about kumari need to be fair but they wont mention that in Nepal being fair does not mean being white . This all creates a negative image of our culture when in reality it quite the opposite of it . They would talk abt our culture as if we are doing some kind of illegal activity.
For the kindness info there is not just a living goddess but also 2 living god which are ganesh and kuber .
They live the same life as kumari yet people won't talk abt them .
Also during the main event we pull the rath on the 1st day kumari ruth are pulled only with men portraiting that we female can do task like men does . It to show we are equal to them . It shows tht its not only men that can pull the rath . We do that to show our respect to her as well . It the sisterhood or girlhood lets say .
Now take this tradition and think abut the early 17 , 18 and 19 centuries. Imagine this tradition back then . You as a whole community had to be strong enough to break the world stereotypes of being a female . If you do join our tradition to the historical time you would automatically see the importance but if you can't then wht do i say on tht .
This might come off rude yet tht not my intention but I'm not gonna lie i am kinda pissed off by the aligation that the people put in My Culture .
Taleju used to comes at night to play tripasa with the king.once king watch taleju with bad intention taleju got angry and never came back after that.The king asked to forgive him and requested so much after that taleju said she will come back in a girl who is virgin and pure Buddhist Newari girl called shakya caste this is the true story ❤
One question
Though being a hindu goddess another form of goddess durga I guess
Why was the requirement that the girl must be buddhist? Wouldn't it have made more sense for kumari to be made from those community who are shakti worshipper instead of a buddhist?
@@xenonezio5188there's no requirement that Kumari have to be from Buddhist community. Maybe Shrinkhal didn't do enough research but Kumaris are from both Hindu and Buddhist communities.☺

@@xenonezio5188 Kumari is made from Newar community. And mainly Newar community either follow Hindu religion or Buddhism. Its not mandatory that she should be Buddhist, as long as she is from Newar community, and her birthchart or requirements are matched, she is made as kumari.

Not for her
That's the difference between normal girl and Kumari (The Chosen One)
Whether she cries or not, that will negatively impact her mind. And its not just the girl who ultimately becomes the Kumari, but all the other girls who give the test. A child should not be exposed to such brutality. Trauma is a real thing and you never know how it manifests.

I am watching your video from Nepal🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I am a Nepali and I have always been intrigued by the Kumari tradition. Although I am not from the Newari community, many of my relatives and friends belong to it, which is why I came across the Kumari culture. When I first heard about it, I decided to do some research and discovered everything that was mentioned in the video. It brought up mixed emotions for me, especially when I learned about the dark path and the way to select a Kumari. One thing that the video didn't mention is that people tend to avoid associating with a former Kumari once she's dethroned because it's believed that she brings bad luck to those around her. This culture and belief have been running for ages and may not be easily changed, but I hope that people can bring some changes to this tradition so that little girls can enjoy their childhood, live like normal children, and have a normal life ahead of them.
Oh .😔😔😔
❤
he mentioned that whosoever marries her dies early
I am sorry to offend nepalees but I think this tradition is not good. They should now abolish it, it is actually harming the lives of small kids who don't even know what is happening with them.
@priyankakumarisingh4511 you should watch some interviews of the previous kumari and then decide if any harm was done to them. Actually, they take pride in the culture despite many hassles to reintegrate into the society. Also, many things have changed. They are provided with tutor and education materials and some Kumaris are even happily married. I think it's a lifestyle that is not mainstream rather than child abuse.
as a nepali i can say you very well put together all the info. everyone watching this can say a lot of time and research went into this and actually stated facts. well done, my fav shrikhand ;)

Its not even too dark, i was classmate with the former kumari of kathmandu and during her reign there ahe was provided education from our school and our teacher used to go kumari ghar ko teach her and sometimes our teacher used to take us to meet her so that we can socialize and be friend with her after her tenure is over😮💨
Is she ok? Like psychologically and mental health wise? Walking in a room of dead animals at such a young age might be traumatic for so many. Don’t take me wrong I’m just wondering how it works.
@Her7777 yes she is okay. Kumari get life time funds from government for their future too .
To all people living in Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵 LOVE from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Our brothers and sisters ❤❤
Thanks I'm from Nepal 😊
I will never accept any godess will leave waya their child when they face deadly pain of periods, even not allowing praying girls on their periods., I'm a BHAKT, eventually not an ANDHBHAKT.
Ur opinion doesn't matter .. it's like I ll not read Newton theory because it was based on Apple blaah blaah
I rarely listen any indian saying gautam buddha was born in Nepal but you said it confidently thankyou so much
I am Indian and I am Hindu ...and in our family my dad always tells me about the stories of our religion and count Gautam bhudda stories too in our culture ❤
100% agree with your thoughts on this video... You have cleared all the doubts.... And this video is so helpful.... Thanks man!!!!!!!!
I've watched videos related to Kumari before. But no one has covered it with that much of details like you. Well done 🙌
The way you introduce nepal at first I felt Soo proud to be a nepali ❤❤😊😊
It's newari culture god kumari I'm glad ki aapne hamare culture aur Nepal k bare aur Kumari k bare mai videos banaya lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵
I respect the way you explain every single thing also I like how sensitivity you present this story without hurting anybody culture and people feeling ❤❤so much respect for you 😊😊😊
He has different ways of interpreting stories.. gives me chills 😅
You must have been wondering why there is an old lady as a KUMARI if one of the conditions is that they shouldn’t have periods. This is shocking. She had her first periods after her 50s .
When the royal massacre happened in nepal in 2058 bs where the king's family was murdered the existing Kumari cried continuously from 3 days up to the day of massacre and then she stopped and said "my duty to cry has been finished now" with a smile on her face
This is told by the former Kumari herself there's no evident reason as why she cried, maybe it's a sign from the goddess
Sry to say that's creepy 🙂
2058 ?? I think there is lil mistake in year because it hasn't come yet
@@khushipawar728 it's tbh
@@Wishperwind_04 nope it's according to the Nepali calendar so it's correct 💯
@@Wishperwind_04it’s 2080 here in Nepal
This reminded me of the kanya pooja we have in India during Navratri- we consider the Kanya as Goddess Durga.
This kumari puja is also a tradition in our west bengal not only nepal.. aur i think yeh pure india me bhi hota hai kumari puja bohot log karte hain chhoti bacchiyon ki kumari puja.. mujhe yaad hai jab mein chhoti thi tab meri puri family up mein rehti thi and up mein mujhe bhi kumari puja ke liye chuna gaya tha.. and mere kaafi friends ko bhi bohot baar kumari puja ke liye chuna gaya tha.. so yeh "kumari puja" west bengal mein toh hoti hai aur India me bhi bohut se jagah par hoti.. i told it just because if you didn't knew it before... But the process are Not like how Nepal's kumari puja does 😢
Bihar up jharkhand oddisha mp gujrat rajasthan haryana me bhi hota hai

How hard was it for you 😢😢
Damn ka ko kumari ???i mean kun thau ko ❤
Hi Shrinkhal brother i am from Nepal and i'm truly impressed as how you described Nepal in the begining of the video and also described about this tradition in such a facinating way.Love from Nepal🤩☺
6:11 yaha se dekho😅
😂😂😂
Saw a documentary on discovery 15-20 years ago as a child. Fascinated by this. The details were amazing. Glad to know about the history behind this tradition. Lots of love ❤️
Kathmandu is known as Open Museum and City of Temple ❤
Proud to be Nepali 🥰
I am impressed that you know
the Nepali culture I am also an Nepali and after seeing this video and I am really scared from kumari thanks for making this video for this information ❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
The first video i checked on your page and I love it.. now I am your subscriber
can we just take out some moments just to appreciate how better Shrinkhal is getting day by day ? lots of love to you SR
No
Namaste!! A lot of support from Nepal
I would like to thank him so much for this video. Even tho I belong to Nepal I almost didn't know about some facts about Kumari. It was such a informative video.
Note:- Tiktok is banned in Nepal too so we can't listen on Tiktok.
There's 145+ language according to new data.
I'm sorry but I literally laughed when he pronounced 'Malla' as माला instead of मल्ल. It's fine though.
Bro Dictionary tw haina tmi😂
One of the important thing about Kumari is that whenever she cry something bad happens like "durbar hatya kanda " and " earthquake of 2072".
"2072" Bro is a time traveller 🗿

Bengali also celebrate kumari puja on durga puja but its not so extreme like Nepal
Yeah we too in nepal , our elder perform ritul like kumari puja on Durga puja in every home. Like jo ladki 9-12 saal sey kam sey kam hein usko devi ke rup mein puja jata hein .. but the thing mentioned in video is very specific in Kathmandu.
There's a webtoon called ' for the sake of sita' that is about same tradition. A anime was going air but due to some religious aspects it was banned. 😢
Cry more gobarbhakt
Of course, it was because the webtoon was a disgusting piece of work, showing a bastardised version of a proud Nepalese tradition.
Would you be happy knowing your country's Princess is portrayed as a prostitute?
Its so good to see your content something about Nepal✨️
They have every facilities in their Kumari Ghar. They can study,play around their room when they aren't called for Puja or to sit on the throne❤
But they can't talk with people can't smile in public place.. They are just being isolated in a home for 8 to 10 years and then suddenly they have to live a normal life.. How that can be normal?
@@triyashasamanta4244 they can talk with public, only during puja they can't. I visited kumari house during my childhood and played with kumari..she was so friendly. She use to love candy , I gave her 🍬
Nepal ho ya india
Agar mein idia me hu to kya yaha ka faltu bakwaas kar ne lag jau😊
Ha
As a Nepali it is very first time i heard about this and I'm very very disappointed knowing this side of nepal and hard to believe as i never saw such cruelty in the name of religion around me not even from my parents it is totally disgusting 💔
I am glad that you made a video on this topic I am really attached to the culture of Nepal more than my own culture as an Indian I was born and raised here in Kathmandu and the culture of Nepal is on another level, I did know some of the stories related to the goddess kumari you really did an amazing job keep going
I'm from Nepal and I'm subscribing you because you mentioned Buddha is born in Nepal which most of the Indians deny.
Par mayna tho kitab may parha tha ki woh India sa h😮
@@URMILADAS-hn3kv so do visit his Original Birthplace🙏
We accept it ..Buddha was born in Nepal thats true . Every Indian book mention this. We accept it.
How Indian people denied that bhudha is not born in Nepal. it written in history book itself. Get your assumption correct ok.
A big thank you here you have covered it so well and have compared the other side.
ppl don't let Kumari walk because Dharti is a Mata and meeting up with the two gods can create a problem or destruction and your reason is right also. Whatever LOVE YOU...!!!!
I had darshan of Royal Kumari Ma some five months back. She blessed me and then my life changed so much. I am a changed person now. Jai Ma.
The way he tells every little information rather than the actual content is just amazing he is the only person who covers every single point ❤️
Bro u did such a good job and explained it with such details
As a newar myself i am glad that our tradition is being recognized thank you again shrinkhal dai i love your videos❤❤
Thanks for talking about other aspects instead of glamorizing it.
Hi, I'm from Nepal, born and brought up in Kathmandu, your story telling style is really good. Nothing is offensive and story was told very beautifully. Thank you, Now you have touched the "Newari culture" do research on (Gufa culture in Newari community) and (Urban ledgend) from same community. You can get a hunted, horror episodes. Lots and love 💓
15:58 108 sacrificed buffalos, not cows, we worship cows. This is a good explanation of Nepali culture.
I know it's connected to religious sentiments but this Kumari tradition is extremely injustice with those girls. Because when she grows up and starts getting her periods she has to live a very bad life , she can't marry so she has to live her entire life in a temple begging for her basic needs 😢
Wtf. She gets homeschooled by best tutor while being kumari. They gives exam too inside the palace. Later they can Marry and do jobs. She gets respected and long life benefits from government. We Nepalese don't even beg.
Absolutely wrong plz watch the interviews of ex kumari they all are living glorify life
Who told you all this nonsense? They can happily get married, get education even while they are Kumaris and make friends. Learn properly before spreading lies.
Bhai app ka ek hamshakal hai ... ❤ im shocked 😮😮😮
I really wanted you to cover this topic and now I happy that finally you cover this topic ❤
I know you from the time you used to react on tiktok vidoes and finally nowadays you're getting the recognition you deserve. It makes my heart so happy❤
22 years ago when the royal kumari cried for 3 days long. Nonstop
Royal massacres took place and later before the gorkha earthquake shri kumari maiju cried..
As old tradition has been reformed too
They are getting education and all form of life touch while being kumari ..
For better knowledge please watch out the video of ex kumari maiju interviews .
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Who wants to go Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
I'm from Nepal And proud to be Nepali🙋🏻♂️💗
Hii
For what
There is a short Webtoon "For the Sake of Sita". It is also based on the Kumari practice. It might be not for everyone but it gives an insight.
I read the whole thing few years ago. The concept was good and the end was mindblowing. But actually, that is not how a dethroned Kumari is treated in reality.
Yes I read it too
its very inaccurate on the part of our traditions
would not recommend if you want to learn or take context from it
Yeah I read it too, end was especially amazing 😢
One suggestion for you, when you research about Nepal and Nepal related things, it will be easier for you to pronounce the names correctly if u search for them in devnagari (देवनागरी).. because we use the same script.. you would have been able to pronounce the words like तलेजु, मल्ल, दशैं etc correctly if you had searched for the names in Nepali language... not for everything ofcourse, we speak different languages but when u are not sure about certain pronunciations
Good suggestion brother. Jaya Siya Rama 🙏🕉️❤️🇮🇳❤️🇳🇵
@srpaystories
There’re interviews of former kumaris in UA-cam who have shared their experiences. They’ve clearly mentioned they were happy to serve goddess and they felt goddess’s presence in their body.
Thank you brother for making kne video on Nepal 🇳🇵 also lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵❤😊
@@iamhero7747 chup xakka muji
Huge fan from Kathmandu Nepal...you should define an unique festival indrajatra when goddess Kumari is being worshipped and came out from kumarighar and publicly shown to the people by putting Kumari in the chariot...this festival is grand festival of Kathmandu
Whenever I see documentry or videos about kumaris I never once thought they were privileged. I always used to pitty them. They are kinda victims in the name of religion
Main topic starts from 2:17 say thanks in replys :-)
Thanks 😊
Thanks
Lets just give round of clouses to shrinkal because of how he puts his efforts in searching the right info and giving the best output for us
Hats off to you man 👏👏👏👏

Just Thankyouu for covering this topic. Highly appreciated as a Nepali although you missed some important points. Btw Tiktok just got ban in Nepal as well.
We have rituals of kumari puja in shakti puja in Bengal. It’s a very beautiful way to say one should respect women .
Thankyou shrinkhal for bringing this topic . Lots of love from nepal ❤🇳🇵
Tq so much to SR PAY I am from Nepal 🇳🇵 and I am newar and we usual have so much faith on the goddess kumari and it is believed that if the goddess show any emotion bad thing will happen I am so thankful that you uncovered the dark truth of our culture tq so much ❤❤ I really like your content and I wish to see you grow more ❤❤ tq so much
As an Nepali I am so scared of The living goddess of Nepal (kumari) but in future I wish I could visit kumari I am proud of being Nepali🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
6:44 real start❤❤
Nice 👍
Shrinkhal, sweetheart... I hope you take this positively, the life of Kumari isn't as cruel as you framed it to be. The buffalos and goats are not sacrificed during the selection process, idk where you got this info from. Also, their family can frequently visit them and they actually do get married later on and live a normal life without any difficulties. The only skeptical thing is the whole not being able to speak and walk, but other than that I think you overdid it a little bit. Still, loved it♥
I actually heard from my friend that is true though . She got scared during that process so she was not selected.
I'm also nepali but I feel like this tradition is somewhat cruel..the age where they have to make friends have fun ..they r made to do all this so I think its really wrong
yess they also get homeschooled and girls get excited to be kumari. iHe really overdid this.
I belong to newari community and the real story is King Jaya Prakash malla and Taleju aajima they used to play dice every night and one night King saw feet of ajima taleju Her feets were so fascinating that he got attracted to ajima and as she was god she knew what king is thinking so she disappeared after that King realized his mistake and did Xyama puja (apology puja) and ajima came to his dream and said that You will find a girl with 32 gunas then I will live in her till her first period also King himself is a newari king and ajima taleju is kuldevi of nepali kings
Introduction is just wow
You portray nepal so beautifully❤️
Love from nepal🇳🇵🫶
Bro as a Bangladeshi . BY YOU I HAVE SEEN NEPAL. AND THE MUSIC YOU USE . ❤❤❤❤❤ .
Good job shinkhal I'm speechless to say anything about kumaari tradition this video isn't offensive I hope people will try to understand that❤
Kumari puja is also included in Bengali Durga puga.❤
I hear about this as child in bheem episode to kathmandu but i thought it was improvised ! thanks for sharing! I love learning about new cultures!
