Kumari Puja In Kathmandu, Nepal.
Donned in red robes, girls below the age of 7 years, known as living goddess Kumari, sit online to be worshiped in turn in the square of an ancient palace to ward off bad luck and diseases in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 16, 2024. Running in their pre-pubescent years, the girls are worshiped annually in the Himalayan nation as earthly incarnations of divine feminine energy, manifestations of the goddess known as Taleju, the Nepalese name for Goddess Durga.
