Mar 31, 2009 - Kathmandu, Nepal - Kumari, the living goddess of Nepa, real name CHANIRA BAJRACHARYA, 13-year-old Royal Kumari of Patan, Nepal, poses in her meditation room where she blesses every visitor. Kumari of Patan is one of the most important Kumari in Nepal & is worshipped by Buddhist and Hindus as a living goddess. The Kumari title will be gone as she nears puberty as she will be considered ritually unclean. Kumari only appears in public thirteen days a year. PICTURED: Kumari leaves her house carried by her mother to the nearby temple. As a living goddess, Kumari cannot touch the ground with the feet. (Credit Image: © Chalid Nasution/ZUMA Press)
