Nepal's controversial "living goddess" retires
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A controversial young Nepali girl worshipped by many Buddhists and Hindus as a Kumari, or "living goddess", has given up her divine position following a request from her family, an official said on Sunday.
The 11-year-old Sajani Shakya was revered for nine years as the Kumari of the ancient temple-town of Bhaktapur, near Kathmandu, in a centuries-old tradition.
So "Goddess" is a position that you can get demoted from? Hmmm . . .Maybe Hillary will try for this position when she loses here.

Maybe she was a "domestic goddess" like Roseanne?
Oh, and congratulations on 15,000 visitors!
Wow. I thought it was bad that our little girls walk around with tiaras and princess shirts. Goddess is a bit overindulgent, no? /snark
I blame Libby Lui!
