Kumari Puja at Ramakrishna Mission

Hindu devotees have marked Ashtami, the eighth day of Durga Puja, by worshipping the goddess in the form of a young girl -- a ritual known as Kumari Puja at the Ramakrishna Mission in Dhaka. The Puja is aimed at spreading the teachings of humanity, respect and dignity of women and worship of God.
