The little girls of Nepal who become deities

# data[].attributes.body
In Nepal, a small number of girls are selected from pre-adolescence to become Kumari, which in the language of the country means virgin. These "living goddesses", as they are termed, are believed to be the incarnations of the deities Kali and Taleju on Earth. For about 10-15 years, the selected Kumaris are not allowed to step out of their house and if they have to, then they are not allowed to touch the ground. What is interesting, however, is the way in which the girls who will become Kumari are selected: to be selected, the young girl must have various characteristics and above all not have a special sense of fear. To test how brave she is, in fact, the young lady enters a room in which there are 108 decapitated buffaloes and masked men dancing. The girl who responds with joy and bravery is also the one who is chosen.
