This is an intense exploration of the vibrant Nepali tradition of worshipping a pre-pubescent girl as the incarnation of the universal goddess, Devi, which moves seamlessly between present and past, myth and reality, violence and utter peace. It contrasts the peaceful, silent, dutiful, hard-working traditional goddess with the depravities and violence of Nepal’s ruling elite and their politics.
