i live in america and kumari has called to me. i plan to set up
a shrine in her honor. i follow durga.

i was wondering if the image (i.e. photo) is still honorable
after a kumari has lost her divine status or should the image
be replaced with the new kumari?

thanks. :)

I wud expect, photos are meant to capture the vibration of the moment and preserve it for our later recollection. Hence I feel, the current status of the kumari means little. The picture you enshrine is that of devi's kumari rupa and not a particular individual.
