Meet Nepal’s school-going ‘Living Goddess’
STORY: Meet Ojaswi Ghulu, Nepal's 'Living Goddess'
Location: Kavrepalanchok, Nepal
She was chosen when she was only eight months old
and is considered to be the incarnation
of the Hindu goddess of power, Kali
But even goddesses need schooling
She attends classes like other children
and takes part in activities
School authorities say they pay extra attention
to ensure the area around her is always clean
PRINCIPAL, ARUNODAYA ENGLISH SECONDARY SCHOOL, PANAUTI, BISHNU PRASAD DAHAL: "She should be separated while eating also or while playing also she should not be disturbed by others or even while walking also she should walk very properly because if any incidence occur that is taken as bad one, that's why we are very sensitive on this matter and our all the students also know her and they also behave accordingly."
Ghulu appears in regalia only twice a year
and will retire when she reaches puberty
