MM8303 Kumaris

Add to Lightbox Download

Recently chosen as kumari, Unika Vajracharya waits in her home while her new residence is prepared. Kumaris cannot go outside, except on festival occasions, and then she has to be carried, either in someone’s arms or in a palanquin, so that her feet don’t touch the ground. Everything in the house has to be kept ritually pure.
