म माथि मेरो हक हुन्छ,

मैले जन्म लिएर पाएको 

मेराे अधिकार र मेराे कर्तव्य

मेराे जन्म मेरा लागि,

उडानबाट बन्दी गर्न नमिल्ने चरी झैँ,

म माथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 

छाला चिर्ने तेरो किरणबाट मुक्त हुन

आफूमाथि छाया पाउन ममाथि मेरो हक हुन्छ। 

मेरा पुस्ताहरूले रगत बगाएर

बनाएकाे भएको यो गर्वशाली भूमिमा,

टेक्न पाउने ममाथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 

मेरी आमाको शरीरबाट प्रकट भएको मेरो यो शरीरमा

रातो सारी र रातो टीका लगाउन पाउने ममाथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 

मेरो आमाबुबाले पसिना बगाएर 

मलाई हुर्काउनु भएको यो शरीरमा,

दौरा सुरुवाल ढाका टोपी लगाउन पाउने

ममाथि मेरै हक हुन्छ । 

मैले बगाएको पसिनाले बनाएको यो भूमिमा,

मैले स्वतन्त्रताका साथ जिउन पाउने म माथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 

त श्रापीले सिंहासन पाएर पनि,

तेरो त्यो सिंहासनमा हक पाएको छैनस् । 

जुन राज्य तलाई तेरो जस्तो लाग्छ,

त्यो राज्यमा तैँले आफ्नो छाया पनि ढाल्न सकेको छैनस। 

जुन सुतेको राज्यको तैँले फाइदा उठाइराछस्,

त्यो राज्य उठे पछि तैँले कहिले सुत्न पाउने छैनस् । 

अहिले त तैँले मेरो शरीर जलाई हाल्लास्

तर जुन आगो तेरो मृत्युको लागि बाेल्ने छ 

त्यो आगोलाई तैँले कति पनि आँशुले बुझाउन सक्ने छैनस् । 

श्रापीहरूका लागि जुन आगो बल्ने छ,

त्यो आगोलाई तैँले आफ्नो आँसुले 

बुझाउन सक्ने छैनस्, राेक्न सक्ने छैनस्

शान्त पार्न सक्ने छैनस् अनि त्यसले आफ्नाे काम गर्ने छ ।

It was like any other day

When I was walking by the bay,

But today, the was not blue

It was black without a clue.

My feelings were like the weather in may

Like the droplets of rain that spray,

Everywhere in the ground and river

It flows to no end forever.

When I looked at you

Heard you stomp your shoe,

I thought it was joke

Only it was never a joke.

Only when you were out the door 

Realization hit like the waves on shore,

I ran out hoping for you

But the dull sea gave no clue.

I ran till water reached my neck

All my memories of you started to break,

You were like the cold breeze

My heart has started to freeze.

The Internet is a massive platform where all of us can share our thoughts, views, and opinions. On the internet, there is a wealth of new knowledge that we can gain and share simultaneously. Although the internet plays a major role in improving one’s life, there are some negatives that are very unwanted and undesired by society.

We have seen many things on the internet that we believe are true, but we do not know that for sure. When we are uncertain of the truth, it might as well be fake or false. Nowadays, almost all of us believe what is shown on the internet, but do we ever confirm if the news is true or false? Most of us do not, which is a big mistake. There are many things that we see on the internet that are true, and there are just as many false things as well. On the internet, there are many influencers who promote different things. For example, some might promote mental health, while others might promote physical health. There are different measures that one might take to improve both their mental health and physical health.

There are videos of people becoming rich from being broke, and after seeing those videos, we also think that we can do what they did. But real life is very different. We might be able to do what they did, but we have to work as hard as them and not waste our time on unnecessary things. Social media plays a big role in either improving our life or making it worse. We see all these influential videos on social media where they post about their life and how it improved. There are physical athletes and bodybuilders who show their transformation from having a poor body image to having a good body image, and we believe we can achieve it. But we have to put in the equivalent amount of effort and dedication that they gave to achieve what they achieved. There are hundreds and thousands of fake videos shown on the internet that are all very appealing and interesting but are not true.

Comparing the Internet with real life, we can say that most of the things that we see are not completely true. There are videos of beautiful places with amazing scenery, but if we visit those places ourselves, the results might be totally different. People from all around the world post different things on the internet, and we believe them. But in real life, things are very different. There might be things that we do not like on the internet, such as false and fake news. We believe in what we see, and that can lead us to believe different things and other fake things. If what we saw on the internet were true, then all of us would just be on the internet all day instead of experiencing things on our own.

नेपाल प्राकृतिक सुन्दरताले भरिपूर्ण देश हो । नेपालमा ७७ जिल्लाहरू छन् र सबैका आ-आफ्ना महत्त्व र परिचय छन् । तिनै जिल्लामध्ये, दोलखा पनि एक हो । जुन नेपालको उत्तर पूर्वमा अवस्थित छ । यो जिल्लाको पूर्वमा सोलुखुम्बु र पश्चिममा सिन्धुपाल्चोक जिल्ला रहेको छ । त्यस्तै यो जिल्लाको उत्तरमा तिब्बत पर्छ । दोलखा जिल्लामा धेरै सुन्दर हिमाल, पहाड, झरना, तालहरू छन् । प्राकृतिक सुन्दरता सँगसँगै यहाँ मन्दिर र पुराना वास्तुकलाहरू पनि हामीले देख्न सक्छौँ । दोलखाको मुख्य पर्यटकीय स्थलहरूमध्ये कालिन्चोक, जिरी, छो-रोल्पा हिमताल, गौरीशङ्कर हिमाल आदि हुन् । यसका साथसाथै दोलखाको पुरानो सहरमा अवस्थित प्रसिद्ध धार्मिकस्थल भीमसेन मन्दिर पनि दोलखाको परिचय हो ।

दोलखा जिल्लाको सबैभन्दा पुरानो, एतिहासिक तथा साँस्कृतिक र सुन्दरताले भरिपूर्ण दोलखा बजारमा यो मन्दिर अवस्थित छ । काठमाडौँबाट १३३ किलोमिटरको यात्रा गरेपछि हामी दोलखाको सदरमुकाम चरिकोट पुग्न सक्छौँ र  यो मन्दिर जान दोलखाको सदरमुकाम चरिकोटबाट करिब ४ किमी उत्तरतर्फ  लाग्नुपर्दछ । यो मन्दिरसम्म जान यातायातको राम्रो सुविधा छ र मन्दिरसम्म नै पक्की मोटर जाने बाटो छ । अहिले सबै ठाउँमा ठुला बजारहरू देख्न सकिन्छ तर पनि आम जनमानसमा दोलखा भन्ने बित्तिकै दोलखा बजारको याद आउँछ र यसको प्रमुख कारण त्यहाँ अवस्थित दोलखा भीमसेन हो । दोलखा भीमसेन मन्दिर परिसर नजिकबाट रोल्वालिङ हिमशृङ्खलासहित गौरीशङ्कर हिमालका दुई चुचुरा प्रस्टैसँग देख्न सकिन्छ । कोशीको मुख्य नदी  तामाकोशी पनि यहाँबाट नागबेलीझैंँ  दक्षिणतिर महाभारत पर्वत शृङ्खला छिचोल्दै बगिरहेको देख्न सकिन्छ । यहाँका स्थानीय बासिन्दाका अनुसार यो मन्दिर पाँच पाण्डवमध्येका दोस्रो भाइ भीमसेनले बर्षौसम्म तपस्या गरेर बसेको ठाउँ हो । यो मन्दिरमा धेरै पर्यटकहरू आउँछन्, अझ दशैँको बेला त खुट्टा टेक्ने ठाउँ पनि हुँदैन । खास गरी नेवार समुदायले अत्यन्तै मान्ने  र दर्शन गर्न आउने गर्छन् । यो मन्दिरको बारेमा मैले बच्चैदेखि मेरो हजुरआमाको मुखबाट सुन्दै आएको किंवदन्ती छ । उहाले भनेअनुसार धेरै पहिले भरियाहरू यो ठाउँमा थकाई मार्न बिश्राम गरेका थिए रे । त्यहाँ आगो बालेर खाना पकाउन चुलोको लागि  तिनीहरूले तीनओटा ढुङ्गा ल्याएछन् रे । तर एउटा ढुङ्गा चाहिँ जति गरे पनि सिधा भएनछ  । धेरै प्रयास गरेर पनि त्यो ढुङ्गा नअडिएपछि एक भरियाले त्यस ढुङ्गालाई भात पकाउने पन्युले हान्न खोजेछ । हान्दा खेर त्यो ढुङ्गाबाट रगत निस्केछ । पछि त्यो भरियाले क्षमा मागी त्यस दिनदेखि सो ढुङ्गालाई भगवानको रूपमा पुजा गर्न सुरु गरिएको थियो । त्यही तिनकुने आकारको ढुङ्गालाई हामीले अहिले भीमसेनको रूपमा पूजा गर्छौँ । यो मन्दिरको अर्को विशेषता भनेको यहाँ मन्दिरलाई कुनैपनि छाना र गजुरले ढाकिएको छैन । यहाँ एउटा नगडा भन्ने बाजा पनि छ जुन केटी मान्छेले छुन हुँदैन र विशेष अवसरमा मात्र पुरुषहरूले बजाउँछन् । यो मन्दिरमा बालाचतुर्दशीको दिन ठुलो मेला लाग्छ । त्यस्तै, नवरात्रीमा यहाँ विशेष पूजा हुन्छ र फूलपातीको  दिन  पञ्च बलि दिने चलन छ । 

यो मन्दिर रहस्यमय पनि छ । बेलाबेलामा मन्दिरभित्रको मूर्तिबाट पसिना झरिरहन्छ र त्यसरी पसिना आउनु भनेको देशमा कुनै नराम्रो घटना घट्ने सम्भावनाको सङ्केत हो भन्ने विश्वास गरिन्छ । वि.सं १९९० सालको महाभूकम्प, राजा त्रिभुवनको निधन, २०५८ दरबार हत्याकाण्ड, २०७२ सालको भूकम्प तथा २०७७ सालमा कोभिड्को महामारी आउनु पूर्व यो शिलामा पसिना आएको कुरा मैले पूर्वजबाट सुन्दै तथा देख्दै आएको हो । पसिना आएपछि क्षमापूजा गर्ने चलन छ । क्षमापूजाको दिन मानिसहरू टाढाटाढादेखि आएर रोइकराई गर्दै क्षमा पूजा गर्छन र पसिना सफा गरेको कपास मुख्य पूजारीले राष्ट्रप्रमुखकोमा लिएर आउने चलन छ ।

यो मन्दिरका धेरै गुणहरू भए पनि यस मन्दिरको एक विकृति छ । यो मन्दिरमा खसी, बोका, हाँस, कुखुरा आदिको बलि दिइन्छ । त्यसैले गर्दा यहाँ भुइँभरि रगत हुन्छ र मानिसहरू टेक्न पनि घिनाउँछन् । त्यसैले बलि दिने ठाउँ छुट्टै बनाउन आवश्यक छ । बलि दिने ठाउँ छुट्टै र पूजा गर्ने ठाउँ छुट्टै भए झन् राम्रो हुन्छ । त्यसो गर्नाले पर्यटक झन् बढ्ने सम्भावना देखिन्छ ।

उठ, उठ रुखमा साहस र आश लिएर

अनजान, अदृश्यमा शक्ति लिएर

डरले भरिएको रातको अँधेरो,

साहसले जलाएको दिनकाे उज्यालाे

गर, गर प्रयास सफल हुनका निम्ति 

नमानेर डर कसैकाे रतिभर कत्ति

सङ्घर्षकाे मैदानमा पाैडिनका निम्ति

गराैँ, साहस हेरौँ हिम्मत रैछ कसकाे कत्ति

 बनाउँछ सक्छ संसार नमान्नेले हार 

गर्नु हुन्न लुछाचुँडी लगाउनलाइ पार

भन, भन अगि बढ्छु हिम्मत हार्ने छैन

चुनौती नै जिन्दगी हाे पछि पार्ने छैन ।

When I ask what life is, some say life is characterized by the complex and organized systems of living organisms, exhibiting features such as growth, reproduction, metabolism, responsiveness to stimuli, and adaptation to the environment. Similarly, some say that life is a continuous process, like a never-ending journey, while others say that life is something that will end once its time has come.

Then I ask again, what does it mean to live if we are eventually going to die? Death is the contradicting term to life. It has a different meaning and is directly opposite to life. The point of living, even though we eventually die, is that once we have experienced every single aspect of life, we would not have any regrets when we die. Once you start to feel like you owe this life to yourself, even if you were to die right here and now, you won’t have any regrets. Life is something that cannot be explained with simple words, as there are infinite meanings to life that we cannot even predict or think of. 

I simply think that life is an infinite loop where one can never stop living of their own will. As I give a valid explanation for it. Some say that a person’s life ends when their time comes, but I think that people don’t simply die because they don’t want to live. I believe they die because of some particular reason, not just because of some lame old reason like old age. Because once people get old, they eventually die. That's what almost 99.9% of people in the whole world believe. But I cannot believe it, because if we put a person whose health records are good under very tight surveillance with the healthiest food and environment, then I think that a person could live up to 1000 years.

All the statements made above are from my point of view, and my experience of life, and based on what I have heard. Thus, the meaning of life and the meaning of living must be different for different people across the world, as we all know that the mindset and thinking of every single person in the world varies.

Isabella was a student. She felt like a tiny boat in a big storm. Every day, school was like a dark cloud over her head, always raining pressure and worry. Her room was like a quiet island, but the walls carried the heavy weight of her troubles. Isabella tried to tell others about the storms inside her, but they just looked past the clouds and said, "It's normal." No one believed that a tiny boat like Isabella could be in trouble.

Days went by like a never-ending storm. Isabella's books were like maps, but they led her to places where the rain never stopped. One day, Roseanne, her roommate, knocked on the door. "Hey, Isabella, how's it going?" Isabella tried to smile, but her smile was like a small boat trying not to sink. "Oh, you know, the usual." Roseanne left, and the room felt lonely again. Isabella's island was full of books and papers, and her boat was sinking under their weight.

One day, a paper on the board caught Isabella's eye. It was like a message in a bottle, promising a way out of the storm. "Support Group for Students Under Stress," it said. Isabella decided to give it a try. In the small room, Isabella found others like her, each with their own stormy seas. Lisa, the leader, was like a lighthouse guiding lost ships. Isabella's words spilled out, and for a moment, she felt a bit of calm. Jay and Jake, two students from the group, became her friends in the storm.

But outside the support group, the world was still. Teachers said, "It's just school stress," and friends thought Isabella was making a fuss. The storm inside her went unnoticed. Time passed, and Isabella's boat felt smaller and smaller. The group helped, but the world outside was like a big cloud that didn't care. Isabella left a note on her desk one night: "I can't do this anymore." The next day, the news of Isabella's end was like a thunderstorm on campus. Friends were confused, and the group felt a heavy rain of guilt. Isabella's funeral was a sad time. The group realized they missed the signs, hidden beneath the waves.

Isabella's story became a wake-up call. The campus started talking about storms inside students' heads. Teachers learned to see the clouds, and students were told, "It's okay to ask for help." Isabella's Haven, the support group, became a light for others. Isabella's story, though sad, became a reason for change. The campus turned into a place where students were not just grades but people with stories. The seasons changed, and so did the campus. Isabella's memory was like a flower in the rain. The university became a place where students felt seen. The clouds of pressure started to clear, and Isabella's story became more than a sad ending; it became a story of hope. The campus learned to care for each small boat in its sea.

Isabella's parents, after hearing about their daughter's untimely end, felt like a ship lost at sea. The news reached them like a tidal wave, washing away the joy and leaving only sorrow. They reflected on the times Isabella tried to tell them about the storms, but they brushed it off, thinking it was just the usual struggles of school.

Regret became a heavy anchor in their hearts. They wished they could rewind time, be more attentive, and listen to Isabella's silent pleas for help. The clouds of guilt hung over them, obscuring the sun of happy memories. They wondered if the pressure they unknowingly added to Isabella's journey was the reason her boat capsized. Isabella's teachers, too, were hit by a tsunami of remorse. As they learned about Isabella's silent suffering, they revisited their classrooms, recalling the times they piled on assignments and tests, unaware of the storm within her. The pressure to meet academic standards had blinded them to the individual struggles of their students.

Each grade given and every demanding task assigned now felt like weights they had unknowingly placed on Isabella's shoulders. They wished they could rewrite the story, providing support rather than adding to the storm. In the quiet corners of their homes, they questioned the education system that valued grades over the mental well-being of students. Isabella's story became a turning point for her parents and teachers. The grief of her loss turned into a commitment to change. They started advocating for mental health awareness in schools, pushing for reforms in the education system that would prioritize the emotional well-being of students. Isabella's story, painful as it was, became a catalyst for transformation. Isabella's Haven, the support group, expanded its reach. It became a platform not just for students but for parents and teachers too, fostering open conversations about the pressures faced by students and ways to create a more supportive learning environment.

The campus, once silent to the cries for help, became a place where empathy blossomed. Isabella's parents and teachers joined the cause, speaking at workshops and seminars, sharing their regrets, and urging others to listen to the whispers of struggling students. The university implemented comprehensive mental health programs, integrating counseling services and stress management workshops into the curriculum. Teachers were trained to recognize signs of distress, and students were encouraged to seek help without fear of judgment. Isabella's story, though tragic, became a beacon of change, illuminating the path toward a more compassionate educational system.

The seasons continued to change, and with each passing day, Isabella's memory transformed into a force for good. The campus that once overlooked the storms within its students became a haven, where every boat, big or small, was cared for and guided through the seas of academia. Isabella's story became a reminder that within every storm, there is the potential for a rainbow, a sign of hope for a brighter and more empathetic future.

४५ वर्षपछि लाखे नाचको पुनः सुरूवात पशुपति देवपाटन (ग्वल) वडा न. ८ मा करिब ४५ देखि लोप भएको संस्कृति फेरि दथु टोल बाजा खलः को नेतृत्वमा फेरि सुरु गरियो । यस वर्ष २०८० मा शुक्ल पक्ष नागपञ्मीदेखि कृष्ण पक्ष सप्तमीसम्म लाखेलाई पशुपती देव पाटनमा नचाइयाे ।

हामीले अरू ठाउँमा लाखे नचाएको देखेका छाैँ तर यस पवित्र पशुपति क्षेत्रमा हामीले लाखेले लखेटेको मात्र देख्छौँ । हामीले सानैदेखि गाई जात्रा र खड्ग जात्रा पशुपति देव पाटनमा लाखेलाई निकालेको तर लखटेको मात्र देख्छौँ । त्यसैले यस क्षेत्रमा नाच्ने लाखे किन छैन कुरा गर्दा पहिले लाखे नचाउने परम्परा पनि हुन्थ्यो भन्ने थाहा पायौँ । पहिले ४५ वर्ष अघि लाखे र झ्यालिन्चा बन्ने व्यक्तिहरूसँग मिली दथु टोल बाजा खल र स्थानीय बासिन्दाहरूको मद्दतले फेरि यो परम्परा सुरु गर्यौँ ।

२०८० साल भाद्र ६ गतेको दिन साँझ ५ बजेतिर दथु टोल बाजा खलद्वारा लाखे र झ्यालिन्चालाई निकालियो । पहिलो दिन सनिस कपाली लाखे बने भने समर कपाली ज्यालिन्चा बने । आजको दिनको लागि केही दिन अघिदेखि नै दथु टोल बाजा खल र स्थानीयद्वारा तयारी सुरु गरियो । सर्वप्रथम हामीले करिब साढे तीन बजेतिर सम्ये बाजी खायौँ । त्यसपछि लाखे र झ्यालिन्चा तयार भए । तयारभएपछि उनीहरूले मुखुटको पूजा गरे र मुखुट धारण गरे । त्यसपछि लाखे र झ्यालिन्चालाई चार ओटा धिमे बाजा र चार ओटा भुस्यासँग तल झारियो । त्यसपछि नाचसँग सुरु भयो । त्यहा नचाई सकेपछि लाखे लाई  नाच्दै नाच्दै पशुपति मन्दिरभित्र लगेर दर्शन गराइयो । पशुपति मात्र नभएर बाटोमा आएका सबै मठ मन्दिरहरूमा ढोग्दै अगि बढे। यसरी नै पहिलो जात्रा घुमाइयो र अन्त्य गरियो। 

यो लाखे नाच एक दिन मात्र नगरी अरू दिनहरू पनि २० गतेसम्म विभिन्न स्थानहरूमा सम्पन्न गरियाे । लाखेबारे कुरा गर्दा, नेवा सभ्यतामा लाखे निकाल्दा तन्त्र अनुसार तन्त्र पूजा विधि सम्पन्न गर्नुपर्ने परम्परा रहेको छ । लाखे तन्त्र पूजा भूतप्रेत नलागोस् र मरेको आत्माले दुःख नदेओस् भनी, परिवारिक कलह भय दोष, अशान्ति, विभिन्न दशा , बिगारलाई नाश गरी शान्ति र खुसी मेलमिलाप कायम भै प्रगति हुन पुग्दछ। लाखे  तन्त्र पूजा नगरी वा पूजामा आवश्यक विधिविधान नपुग भएमा दशाको महा दशाआउने, पितृ दोष लाग्ने, मनोब्यथा, धन नाश, मुद्दा मामिला भाग्यमा राम्रो लेखिए पनि गलत हुने शारीरिक कष्ट भई व्यक्तिको मृत्युसमेत हुने धार्मिक मान्यता रहेको छ । लाखेलाई ठाँउअनुसार विभिन्न रूपमा मान्छन् । लाखे शक्तिशाली भएकाले  अग्नि पनि मान्ने परम्परा छ । 

लाखे नाचको आफ्नो महत्त्व र अस्तित्व भए पनि केही विगतको समयमा लाखे नाचलाई  मनोरञ्नको रूप वा माग्नेको रूपमा चिनिन्छ । हाम्रो सांस्कृतिक पूजा आजा गरेको लाखेले कहिले पैसा माग्दैन । लाखेले पैसा लिने भनेको अरूले चढाए मात्र हो । अहिले केही समूहहरूले यसलाई माग्न पनि प्रयोग गरेका छन् । जुन सरासर लाखेको अपमान हो, त्यसैले हामीले यस्तो माग्ने चलन हटाउनुपर्छ। 

I couldn’t bear it,

I didn’t see his face.

Only the crimson staining the snow,

Seeping through just as a frothing river.

Looking at the milky white sky,

Almost a reflection of the ground.

It seemed almost inevitable,

Destiny forever cruel to all, merciful to none.

Branches of sorrow trees stab the sky,

Replicating the scene just before.

The barren woods have such ominous fog,

Everything hidden from one’s view.

Doves ripple through the air, 

Released as though freedom has erupted.

Yet here I stay locked to this place,

I couldn’t bear it.

तिम्रा ती ठुला आखाँ र त्यो नरम रूप 

आखाँ जुधाउन खोज्छु तर सक्दिनँ 

कसरी हेर्नु म , कुन रूपले हेर्नु म ?

तर यो सत्य भने म लुकाउन सक्दिनँ ।

बरू म छोड्न सकुँला तर ढाट्न भने सक्दिनँ 

सत्य भनेको सहजता दिने मात्र हुँदैन 

तिम्रो हात माथि हात राख्छु 

तिम्रा आखाँमाथि आखाँ जुधाउँछु 

गुपचुप गर्छु  मभित्रै केवल एक्लै

कसरी भन्नु म तिमीलाई ?

मेरा ओठ काँपीरहेका छन् 

कसरी सम्झाउनु म तिमीलाई ?

तिम्रा न्यानो मायामा म हराइरहेछु ।

कसरी भनुँ म तिमीलाई ?

तिम्रा आखाँमा भने जादु छ 

मलाई कब्जा गरी राखेका छन् 

ती आखाँका भुलभुलैया मै हराउनुछ। 

Nepal is a small country located in the middle of the huge Himalayas. Even though Nepal is a small country, it is full of culture and diversity. Among all the different traditions, one of the unique traditions of Nepal is the living goddess; Kumari.

Kumari is the representation of Taleju Bhawani. The ancient kings of Nepal were deep devotees of the goddess Taleju. Due to this, she would often visit the palace to play games of cards with them. While playing cards, she got into a conflict with King Jayaprakash Malla. Some people say that King Jayaprakash Malla tried to sexually harass the goddess, and due to this incident, the goddess got upset and disappeared and didn't return. After this incident, the king was extremely disappointed and wanted to ask for her forgiveness. But as she didn't return, he did countless prayers asking for forgiveness, and after lots of prayers, she appeared in his dreams and asked the king to choose a young Kumari for her to possess so that the people could continue to worship her. Due to this incident, the tradition of worshipping Kumari started.

A Kumari candidate is selected from a Buddhist family of the Shakya clan. The process of being a Kumari isn't easy; she has to go through 7 difficult tests, in which if she performs well in most, then only she will be chosen for the role. Once the chosen girl completes the purification rites and crosses from the temple on a white cloth to the Kumari Ghar to assume her role as Kumari, her life takes on an entirely new chapter. She is allowed to leave her palace only on ceremonial occasions; her family will visit her rarely. Kumari's new life is vastly different from the one she has been living in her past life. She has ceremonial duties to carry out. She is expected to behave as a goddess. She has to show the correct qualities: always feeling fresh, not being tired, always wearing makeup if anyone is visiting, and she also can't touch the ground.

Kumari also can't show any emotion; it is believed that something will happen if Kumari shows emotions. For example: crying or loud laughter suggests serious illness or death, weeping or rubbing eyes: imminent death, trembling: imprisonment, hand clapping: reason to fear the king, picking at food offerings: financial losses. It is also believed that the year the Royal Massacre took place, Kumari had cried.

Traditionally, the Kumari received no education, as she was widely considered to be unreliable. However, modernization has made it necessary for her to have an education. Kumaris are now allowed to attend public schools. While many Kumaris, such as the Kumari of Bhaktapur, attend school, others, such as the main Kumari in Kathmandu, receive their education through private tutors. She also can't have any single wound or blood stains as it is considered impure. So only such types of girls who never had any injury are selected. Once a Kumari starts her period, she is considered impure, and a new Kumari is appointed soon after.
