Former Kumaris To Receive Monthly Allowance

Some of you may have come across this info already

While a Kumari, they are known as the living goddess but after they come of age – many of the Kumari girls struggle to mix in society. Kathmandu Metropolitan City chief executive officer Laxman Aryal shared that ten former Kumaris will receive the monthly allowance of Nrs 10,000 from July for the next ten years. So that’s kind of like a pension or an allowance to ease their transition back into society. It is a nice gesture for the Kumaris of the present but a little upsetting for the former Kumaris of the past.
