Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix// @thephotosociety A drawing by Unika Vajracharya, the Kumari of Patan, made for me at the end of my assignment. To the left you can see her as the Living Goddess, as she takes to her throne at just six years old - her feet resting on an offering tray and a snake god guarding her head. She was on her throne when the April 25 earthquake struck and, according to her family, entered a trance-like state and reassured them that they were safe. For more information about Nepal's Living Goddesses, please see our story in the June edition of the magazine, which just hit stands. The online version can be seen here: http://bit.ly/1IqEtZg .
