This Kumari Devi tradition and the associated ceremonies and rituals seemed similar to the Buddhist Lama tradition but with differences. I managed a click when she looked at me.

This palace was built mostly with red bricks nearly 400 years ago in 1600s. Had withstood a few tests of time and earthquakes.

She had chosen a fitting silk saree for the beautiful place with courtyards and temples, I thought.

I have read a bit about Nepal’s tradition of selecting a Kumari (a living Goddess) for their worship and meeting one of such Kumari was a very soulful and unique experience during my trip to Nepal and Tibet. One of several ways to be in touch with divine I guess. I still remember the vibrant red color that was present and I am glad with this shot that has brought some of that vibrancy.
