Kumari - Living Goddess - Nepal

November 2007To believers, Nepal's child goddesses or Kumaris can bestow luck with a glance. But when these children grow up, returning to normal life is virtually impossible.Girls selected as Kumaris must be aged between two and four and satisfy all the conditions of '32 perfections'.
