Hanging out in Durbar square, Kathmandu in 2016. The wood braces on the temple are a result of the 2015 earthquake which did a lot of damage to the city and surrounding areas.

I took this at Kumari Ghar in 2022. It is in Durbar Square in Kathmandu. Kumari Ghar is the palace of the living goddess Kumari. Kumaris are drawn from the Newar community, the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley. The way it was explained to me, the goddess would once come down to earth to advise the ruler of Nepal, but during one of her visits, she noticed that he was lusting after her. After refusing to return for a while, she returned to Earth as a prepubescent girl. Once the girl reaches puberty, the goddess leaves the body and is just a person. The community then needs to find the next Kumari.

I was in the courtyard for an audience with the Kumari, where I was told to remain silent, keep my hands in a prayer shape out of respect, and not take any photos. An older woman came to the window, yelled something down, and then the Kumari came to the window.

Location: Kumari Ghar (Kathmandu, Nepal)
