And what benefits does appointing a 'KUMARI' has been doing in our society or in that matter any other jatra has done? besides blocking the traffic and a public holiday to waste our time.

I feel the importance of religion but many of our tradition will eventually change and we should embrace the change and adopt to it.

If people are keen on preserving their culture, then there is i think 'Guthis' and local organization to plan the same. Maybe this is the time to be united in the local community and work together during the jatras.

In my opinion we should cut down all holidays given in the name of jatras and let government people do job for now.
