    Photo by Binod Joshi.I know being chosen is supposed to be a great honor, but I feel oddly protective of Matani Shakya, the newly appointed 3-year-old goddess in Nepal. When not being "wheeled around on a chariot pulled by devotees" the kumari toddler will reside in a palatial temple until she hits puberty. She will then, sadly, get tossed for a new baby deity. Harsh reality, that. Where do ex-goddesses go for therapy?
