[PHOTO] Meet Baby Born With ‘Elephant Trunk’ Who Is Worshipped Like A God In India

A baby girl is reportedly being worshipped
like a god in India after she was born with
a facial deformity resembling an elephant’s
trunk.
Villagers near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, have
flocked to see the ‘divine’ girl in the belief
she is an incarnation of the elephant-headed
god Ganesha.
They have continued despite doctors
warning her condition may well be a
genetic mutation, Asian News International
reported.
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.”

The girl, who was reportedly born at 7am
on Thursday, is said to be the fourth child
in a so far ordinary and healthy family.
Her facial lump is between her eyes and
appears to have divided her nose in two
when the girl was still in the womb.
Doctors will examine the baby girl to find
out the extent of her condition and whether
they need to operate.
They have warned the condition could be a
genetic mutation triggered by malnutrition
and increased pollution, ANI reported.
A 2003 report by the environmental
magazine Down to Earth said workers in
Aligarh, an industrial zone, faced poor
sewage works and ‘nightmarish working
conditions’.
Ganesha is one of the best-known gods in
Hinduism and is worshipped by millions as
the deity of wisdom and intelligence.
