Chapter 39: The Temple of Goddess Kumari

September 10th.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

As a bell rang, Zheng Jing had to open his eyes.

When he took his phone and saw the caller ID, he suddenly became energetic.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, I am from the garden planning company, today is the day to give nutrient solution to fruit trees, are you at home?"

Zheng Jing rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not at home for the past few days, I'll call you when I go back in two days, okay?"

"Okay Mr. Zheng, since that's the case, I won't bother you, goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Jing couldn't sleep either, got up from the bed, came to the window and opened the curtains, and found that it was still raining heavily.

I have to say that the sound insulation of the hotel is good, so heavy rain, he didn't hear any sound in the house.

After washing up and having breakfast, Zheng Jing returned to the room and didn't have anything to do for a while.

Lying on the bed and playing with his phone.

I opened my shaking hand and looked at the private message first.

The private messages that can be replied to are replied to in the past, and some spam private messages are deleted directly after he glances at them.

After reading the private message, he took a look at his work.

Good guys, the thirteen video data he released has increased a lot after not watching it for two days.

He watched the comment area of the thirteen videos one by one, and most of them were netizens who played memes.

Like what:

"It's awesome, even Burma dares to go, aren't you afraid of cutting your waist?"

"This is the Burmese? Good fellows, didn't they cut their kidneys? How can you still believe in Buddhism? Fake it. ”

"The Buddha went to the relics and called them out."

"This is Bagan, I've heard about it, I've heard that there are thousands of stupas there, it's beautiful."

"I can't imagine that there is such a place in Myanmar, I always thought that there were only waist cutters and fraudsters."

"This is the four-faced Buddha statue in Bangkok, and the blogger actually went from Myanmar to Thailand."

"This is Siam Square, there are actually dancing and singing, although I don't understand, but it's really lively."

"This is the Grand Palace, where the Emperor of Thailand lives."

"The Jade Buddha in this Jade Buddha Temple was snatched from Laos by Thailand before."

"Bangkok's Chinatown is so bustling, this should be one of the most prosperous Chinatowns in Southeast Asia, right?"

"There are actually bird's nest sellers, this is the first time I've seen this meal."

"There are so many seafood shops here, and there are so many people."

"There is actually an antique shop near Siam Square, why didn't I see it last time I went, I regret it."

"Damn, I didn't expect Laos to have a triumphal arch."

"If it weren't for the word Laos written on the video, I would have thought the blogger was filming in France."

"This is the Jade Buddha Temple, have you seen it, which Jade Buddha in Thailand was snatched from here, and now there is no more."

………………

After reading the comments, more than half an hour has passed outside, and the rain outside is much lighter.

Seeing the drizzling rain, Zheng Jing decided to take a picture of Kathmandu in the rain.

As soon as the idea came to him, he put on his clothes, took out the prepared raincoat from the space and walked down.

When he came to the outside of the hotel, looking at the passers-by in a hurry, he didn't know where to go for a while.

Turning the camera on, he chose a direction with him.

Along the way, Zheng Jing shot a lot of material.

Especially the temples he saw, he focused on shooting.

Seeing the square in front of him, Zheng Jing realized that he had unknowingly come to Durbar Square.

Durbar Square is one of the most famous squares in Nepal and is also the place with the most temples.

As mentioned earlier, in Nepal, there are squares in the streets and alleys, and in these squares, there will be a temple.

As the largest square in Nepal, Durbar Square encompasses ancient buildings from the 16th century to the 19th century.

Although it was raining, it still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the tourists.

In the square, Zheng Jing saw a lot of tourists with mobile phones.

The square was particularly large, and on an information board he saw the number of buildings in Durbar Square, with more than fifty temples and palaces in total.

The Durbar Square district is made up of three scattered squares.

To the south is Basantapur Square, and the main part of the square is on the west side, where many temples are gathered.

To the northeast is the sub-district of Durbar Square, where there is the entrance to the former site of the palace. Stretching north-east, an open area called Makhan Street, which was once Kathmandu's main thoroughfare, is now a well-known pedestrian street.

After familiarizing himself with the map of the square, Zheng Jing took his mobile phone and walked towards the nearest south.

The tall buildings of the temple, he saw it as soon as he entered, and he was curious about what these large temples in Nepal have.

The Temple of Goddess Kumari is one of the most famous temples in Durbar Square.

The three-storey red brick building makes the temple look out of place with the surrounding wooden temples.

As the most famous temple, there are many tourists here, and everyone takes pictures of the temple interior with their mobile phones or cameras.

From the information board of the temple, Zheng Jing understood why this temple was so famous.

The building is so famous because it is the only temple in Nepal dedicated to the "living goddess", and the goddess of this temple is called "Kumari" and she is the goddess dedicated to this temple.

There is information about Kumari on the information board. There used to be a legend that the goddess Tareju was originally a goddess worshiped by the monarchs of the Mara Dynasty, and in the past, the goddess had to be consulted for advice on the problems of the king's governance.

Finally, one day the king angered the goddess, and she walked away in a fit of rage.

But with the king's sincere apology, the goddess promised to finally reappear to the king in the form of a little girl, and this is how Kumali came from.

Why it is the only "living goddess" temple, Zheng Jing does not understand.

But after hearing an introduction from a tour guide, he understood.

It turns out that this Kumali Goddess Temple is still following the ancient tradition of choosing a little girl between the ages of three and six as Kumari.

As a choice of Kumari, the little girl must live in this temple and cannot go out.

According to local tour guides, there are still very strict rules for people to choose Kumari. Girls must be from the Shakya class, immaculate, and must be 3~6 years old.

Moreover, the chosen little girl must also coincide with the King's chart.

After being chosen, the girl left her old life and went to the temple, but her term of office ended when she was physically injured or menarche arrived.

At the end of her term, she will be replaced by a new Goddess Kumari.

Hearing the introduction of the tour guide, Zheng Jing, who prostituted the tour guide, came to the east side of the building.

Kumari was housed in this building.

When I came here, there were already a lot of tourists waiting under the building, looking up at the black windows above.

In addition, these tourists also call Kumari's name from time to time.

It turned out that if they wanted to see Kumari, they had to donate to the donation box on the first floor and shout Kumari's name at the same time.

Kumari does not appear when tourists donate money, but it appears with fate.

In the words of the tour guide, fate will come out when it arrives.

Hearing this, a plant appeared in Zheng Jing's mind.

"Grass"
