Baby Girl Born With Two Faces and Four Eyes, Worshipped as a God

4 years ago Science

In the rural Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, 50km north east of New Delhi, a woman gave birth to a baby girl with two faces and four eyes.

The 4 day old is being hailed by villagers as the reincarnation of Ganesha – a Hindu God, who is depicted as having an elephant’s head and is patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom

Her birth was welcomed with friendly cheers, claps and offerings. Her parents, who have yet to name her have said that she is a “miracle” and “a gift from god.”

Doctors do not know whether she will be able to eat normally yet. At the moment she is being hand-fed.

If the baby girl had been born over here, she’d be considered a freak. However what I think is incredible is that her difference has been celebrated and she will grow up feeling special rather than a freak of nature.

It's really difficult when there are issues of poverty, lifestyle, culture and traditions that would compel them to do this type of human-worship and not do something about the child's disabliity. I just hope the child would grow up healthy and happily nurtured.

to "DAVE", these people believe in their religion and according to their religion they would like to think that this baby is a reincarnation of God. You think this baby is a freak of nature?? What about the woman in the USA who had 14 kids at once, was she a freak of nature?? I guess not because according to you "Dave" she's from a first world country..people flock to her home every day to see her 14 kids.. This is one of the reasons why this world can never be a fair place because someone is always saying something to discriminate another person's belief. you just proved how even people living in a first world country can be foolish..
