Navesh Chitrakar—Reuters. January 28, 2012. A foot of a Newar girl is pictured during a ceremony in Kathmandu. In the ceremony, girls are married to Bel, the fruit of a wood-apple tree, before reaching puberty. A Newar girl will be married thrice in her life, first to Bel, a second time with the sun in another ritual, and lastly with her future husband later in life.
