大象传媒

There is a tradition in Nepal of worshipping young girls who are believed to be the living manifestation of Hindu gods, and the most recent to be anointed is three-year-old Trishna Shakya. The girls, known as Kumaris, are usually selected between the ages of two and four, and are considered divine until they reach puberty. The 大象传媒's Sahar Zand made a documentary about the Kumaris, and explained more about the practice.
