Kumari Samita Bajracharya is only 10 years old, but already she is worshipped as a goddess. The Kumari is a living godess in Nepal. She is chosen among thousands of little girl on very specific details. The Kumari is considered as an avatar of godess Durga. She is even considered as much as a goddess as Durga herself. As long as she never bleeds, she is worshipped. It said said that they loose their divine status the first time they bleed. Then, they go back to a normal life. They are, however, still respected.
