  • A three-and-a-half-year-old boy waits to be circumcised at his home in Istanbul, Turkey. He is younger than the usual circumcision age because his parents want him to undergo the ritual together with his older brother.  Custom dictates that boys are dressed up as small sultans or princes at their circumcision, and the cloaks and hats and sceptres of the two boys are scattered on the sofa on which the boy is sitting. The boy will be circumcised by a licensed circumciser.

  • A young Newar girl, who has been secluded in a room at home for twelve days during her barha ceremony, is taken to the roof of the family house to show herself to the sun god Surya, Kathmandu, Nepal. The barha is a Newar mock first-menstruation rite, held before the girl's first menstruation. During the seclusion, no male above the age of initiation is allowed to see the girl, and the windows of the room are covered so that the rays of the sun god, who is a male, cannot shine on her. The ceremony is also a mock-marriage, as it is said that the girl is married to Surya when she shows herself to him after the seclusion. The mother is standing behind the girl.

  • Newar girl in ceremonial clothes at her Ihi ceremony, a mock marriage to the Hindu god Vishnu, in Patan in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Among the Newars, who are the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley, every girl goes through this ceremony sometime between the age of five and ten. The Ihi makes the girl a full member of her father's family and caste and is also said to make sure that she will never become a widow, even if later on her future human husband would die, since she will forever be married to the god Vishnu. The Ihi is therefore for the Newar women a protection against the stigmatization of widows otherwise common in Hindu culture.
