Do you know who this beautiful little girl in the picture is?

She is Kumari.

Kumari is the living goddess of

Her house is called Kumari Ghar.
It is in Hanuman Dhoka Durbar
Square in Kathmandu.

Have you been there?

Kumari is not her real name. It is
the name of a goddess.

Kumari is from the Shakya family.

The small Shakya girl has to pass

130 English Book - 1 Approved by the Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur

some tests to become a Kumari. The girl must be very beautiful.
There must not be a single mark on her face or body.

The girl is taken into a dark scary room. She is left there for a
night. If she stays there bravely until the morning, she is chosen
as Kumari.

Kumari cannot go to school like other children. She studies inside
the Kumari Ghar. She has her own teacher.

She has very few friends. They come to Kumari Ghar to play
with her.

Many people take care of Kumari. But she cannot live with her
parents at home. She has to live in Kumari Ghar.

Being a Kumari is not easy. She has to wear heavy jewellery and
clothes. She cannot go out like the other children. She cannot
speak too much.

Kumari comes out of the Kumari Ghar only during the Indra
Jatra.

People do not let her walk on the ground. They don’t want to
make her feet dirty.

People carry her in a Rath. She is taken around the New Road
area. And she is again returned into her house until the next
Indra Jatra.

People worship Kumari and come to get her blessings.

Big girls cannot be Kumari. So, when the little girl grows up,
another girl is made the new Kumari.

The old Kumari returns to her parent’s home after the new
Kumari comes.

Computers

Have you seen a computer? It is just like a TV set. But it can do
more than a TV set can do.

A computer has a screen, a brain, a keyboard, a mouse and
speakers. Do you know where the computer's brain is? It is in the
box called CPU. The CPU is the brain of the computer because
it does all the work of the computer. After CPU does the tasks,
then you see things on the screen.

Moreover, you might have
seen a mouse in your house.
But what does a mouse do
in a computer? You might
wonder at it. Yes, a mouse
helps you click on the screen.
It helps move things on the
screen as well.

Computers can be of different types. Some computers have screen

and the CPU separately. They
are desktop. Some of them can
be together. For example, in your
laptop, you have both CPU and
screen in the same pack. Likewise
some computers that are 'all in
one' do not have separate CPU.

Likewise, we can do a lot of things using computer. We can play
games using computer. We can use net. We can also listen to

music or watch video. Computers
also help us to talk people who are
far from us. What's more, computer
does maths very fast. It helps keep
our document safe. They are used in
banks, hospital, school, shops, airport
and many other places.
