Female astrologers thrive in Kathmandu to defy gender stereotypes

In 2006, when Sudha Bhattarai began studying astrology at Purbiya Darshan Bhidyapith in Kathmandu, people used to laugh at her. The situation repeated in 2011 when she actively began practising as a female astrologer.

Now 12 years down the line, the story has already changed. Today, she regularly receives healthy comments. Whereas gaining trust was an issue in those years, there are dozens of people waiting for her service today.
