Sajhamitra, first of all the article was published by Nepali Times, which is not affiliated to any academic research institution. Second, the interview was taken by a westerner as a means of curiosity. The article lacks intensive research techniques. Therefore, I don't look such article as reliable source for authentic research. Kumari pratha shouldn't bee taken lightly. The foundation of this tradition is wrong. A girl is proclaimed as Goddess and later she becomes a common woman. This transition is not a normal transition for most women whose psychology works very differently than men. This tradition is nothing but a mental construction. It's a human institution that was created long ago which is not based on logic. An innocent girl is being used in the name of tradition for fulfilling people illogical bizarre ego-sense desire.
