The god with two faces

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

A baby girl in northern India has been born with two faces and is being worshipped as a reincarnated god.

After the un-named girl was born in a Delhi hospital with two faces, two mouths and four eyes, people in her rural village have been singing and dancing, offering money and asking for her blessings. Locals believe the four-day-old girl is the reincarnation of the Indian God Ganesha.

The 24-year-old father Vinod Kumar says she's eating and breathing normally — feeding through one mouth and sucking her thumb with the other, as reported by AFP.

The case comes just months after Indian doctors performed a rare marathon surgery to remove the extra limbs of a girl born with four arms and legs. Now whoever said Indians were two faced?
