the goddess house, a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

kathmandu..the house of the living goddess..the little girl lives here tucked away for years..as a goddess..then at the age of puberty..no longer a goddess...and no longer a child.

Not only does Nepal have many gods, goddess, deities, Bodhisattvas (near Buddhas), avatars and manifestations, which are worshipped and revered as statues, images, paintings and symbols, but it also has a real living goddess. The Kumari Devi is a young girl who lives in the building known as the Kumari Ghar, right beside Kathmandu's Durbar Square...

Hello Geof,
Good framing for this very interesting composition that has lots to maintain the interest. Very good colours and clarity.

Where are you off to this year?

Hallo Geof!
Good to have globetrotters like you! I never heard about this! A living goddess ... What a wide variety of adorable persons and things. Your photo shows a truly unfamiliar and a bit mystic place. Very interesting contribution in the spirit of TE!
Greetings from stormy and rainy Germany!
