Baby born with four sets of limbs worshipped as deity in India

The small town of Dumri-Isri recieved
thousands of visitors who came to celebrate the
arrival of the miracle baby in India.






The baby boy, who is yet to be named, was born
with four legs and four arms, is believed by
locals to be the reincarnation of Hindu God
Ganesha.

Ganesha is one of the most iconic and widely-
worshipped of the millions of deities in the
Hindu religion and is represented as an elephant
with four arms.
Medical experts on the other hand that the
extra limbs are the result of a birth defect from
an underdeveloped conjoined twin. Not
everybody is buying the scientific explanation.
Kuntalesh Pandey, a worshipper who travelled
115km to take a look of the unusual baby boy,
said: “When a friend first sent me a picture I
wrote it off as a photoshopped but when he
confirmed that it is real I came to see the baby
straight away.”
A relative of the child said: “The nurses said he
was badly deformed but I could see that this was
a sign from God. In fact, this is a miracle, it’s
God’s baby. Indian God’s have extra limbs just
like this.”
The current condition of the baby's mother,
Ureda Khatun, is unknown.
The baby is not the first to be worshipped by
Hindus in recent times. Last year, Arshid Ali
Khan, 13, who was born with a seven-inch tail,
announced he was considering having it
removed - despite being worshipped as a deity.
He is believed by many Hindus to be an
incarnation of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.
