Kumari Puja In Kathmandu, Nepal
A girl prepares as a living goddess 'Kumari' before taking part in the 'Kumari Puja' rituals at the Basantapur Durbar Square in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 5, 2025. 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.
