Imagine politicians and the so called leaders feeling the emminent threat of the King when he is merely paying his homage to the Living Goddess as part of the tradition. I also think this is stretching it too far. And with this kind of attitude I can see the ball rolling back to the Kings court and then God forbid the very people who are roaring like the mighty lion will be hiding for their safety like a mouse. The Goddess Kumari will shower her blessings on a devout person whether he be a King or a commoner and all those who have contributed to the downfall of our country should be punished too!!!
