A young Nepalese girl dressed as a Kumari (living goddess), smiles for the camera as she waits for Kumari puja at Basantapur Durbar Square in Katmandu on Tuesday, Sept. 17. More than 100 girls under the age of 9 gathered for Kumari puja, a tradition of worshipping young pre-pubescent girls as manifestations of the "divine female energy." The ritual holds a strong religious significance in Nepal's Newar community. It is a community affair held primarily to save small girls from diseases and bad luck in the years to come. (AP)
