A baby girl born on March 26th with a facial deformity is being
worshiped in India like a god. Villagers near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh in
India, have flocked to see the 'divine' girl with the deformity
resembling an elephant's trunk in the belief she is an incarnation of
the elephant-headed god Ganesha.
According to Asian News, doctors told the villagers the girl's condition
may well be a genetic mutation. The newborn's aunt, named as Rajani,
told the news agency: "My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl and her
face looks exactly like Lord Ganesha. Everybody is saying she is an
incarnation of the god. This is why whoever hears about her is coming
here to get a glimpse of the baby and are making whatever offerings
possible."
Asian News reports that doctors said they will examine the girl to find
out the extent of her condition and whether they need to operate.
Doctors said the condition could be a genetic mutation triggered by
malnutrition and increased pollution.
