Although in some traditions goddesses exist only in the spiritual realm, in Nepal they live and breathe.

These Kumari, where "living goddesses", are regarded as the terrestrial manifestations of divine feminine energy.

Selected as children, they live in temples, are transported in floats during the holidays and are venerated by thousands of Hindus and Buddhists.

This girl must be from the caste Newar, that is to say, a founding ethnic group of the Kathmandu valley.

These girls are in competition and they have to make sure of certain physical characteristics.

If the criteria are fulfilled, the girls are then presented to a group of priests who study the horoscope of their birth ... and finally be elected.
