In Nepal there is a millenary tradition that venerates a living goddess, a little girl called: Kumari.

It is practically impossible to become one: the chosen one must be a virgin child who has never bled in her life, who has never lost a single milk tooth and must respect 32 aesthetic traits. However, the life of a Kumari is not easy at all. She will no longer be able to touch the ground with her feet, nor leave the house except for special celebrations until her first menstrual cycle, when the spirit of the Goddess Durga will leave her body to choose another girl.
I flew to Kathmandu to meet her and tell you this incredible story.
Good vision!
❤️ I want to thank Manisha Mhrzn (https://www.instagram.com/devillinamhrzn/) & John Malakha (https://www.instagram.com/john.malakha/) so much because without them I wouldn't have been able to enter in contact with Kumari's family, and in addition to this they have been invaluable adventure companions. Thank you guys!
