About the set
21 photos | 2,993 views
In Nepal, there are a small number of girls revered as living
goddesses, or Kumaris. They are selected as toddlers and
retain their status as goddesses until they reach puberty.
I was fortunate to meet one of them- Sajani Shakya, the
Kumari of Bhaktapur. She visited Silver Spring, MD to see
the world premiere of a documentary about Kumaris at the
Silverdocs festival. It's the first time a Kumari has ever
visited the United States.
More about her visit, and a short video, are available on
Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth Blog.

Flickr is almost certainly the best photo management and
sharing application in the world. If you'd like to see what I
use it for you can check out my profile page or browse my photos.
