Matani Shakya is a living Goddess, worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists. She is three years old. Priests in Nepal chose her this week to be the living incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Teleju. But first she had to pass some tests. The living Goddess must...
- ...not yet have menstruated.
- ...be an ideal physical specimen, with perfect skin, hair, eyes, and teeth.
- ...not be afraid of the dark.
- ...have the right horoscope.
- ...spend a night alone in a room with the heads of dead goats and buffaloes without showing fear.
She will live in isolation at the temple until she is disqualified. The last living Goddess, Sajani Shakya, was fired for menstruating.
