Kumari: The living goddess

In an attempt of transformation From humanity to divinity; A child is bewildered, Bewitched and be tumbled  Into some trials.

In an attempt of transformation


From humanity to divinity;


A child is bewildered,


Bewitched and be-tumbled


 Into some trials.


Is it transcendental or is it real?


The test of grotesque shadows,

Kathmandu gets its new living gods Ganesh and Bhairab


A tiny little girl being led through


The beheaded heads' trail


She needn't fear such a flare!


 


Finally, she's crowned


A divine being


She becomes a supreme


Living Goddess!!


Bedecked with red attire,


Clamped in clamor,


Residing in divinely domicile,


What a titanic tribute to her tribe!


But, as she oozes


Her own clots, how-so-ever,


she's bethrown from her crown


 


Suddenly then, her life becomes


A bed of thorn, living a life


Of an earthly being


From that of heavenly being


Is of course not


A piece of cake


To dwell a life of fake!
