The Kumari, who appears in public only thirteen times a year, is worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists as a living goddess and is believed to protect against evil and bring good luck. Nepalese from across the country celebrate the festival to drive demons away from their lives. EPA/NARENDRA SHRESTHA
