A baby girl born with a trunk-like growth between her eyes in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, is being hailed as an incarnation of Lord Ganesha. The child was born on Thursday, 26 March, at 7 am.

Thousands of devotees are flocking to Aligarh to pay a visit to the "divine" girl and make her offerings.

"My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl at 7:00 am and her face looks exactly like Lord Ganesha.

Everybody is saying she is an incarnation of the God," the baby's aunt, Rajani, told.

"Whoever hears about her is coming here to get a glimpse of the baby and are making whatever offerings possible," she added.

The infant, born to poor parents Om Prakash and Sarvesh, has three elder siblings too.

However, doctors state that the protuberance might be due to lack of proper nutrition and pollution.

Oh this is just so sad. For the child and the ignorance.

Exactly. I don't know, what is more sad, the fact that she has to live with that thing on her face(if she survives) or that people actually come to worship her as a god

Lack of proper nutrition and pollution that's one screwed up deformity. Poor kid.

Why is it that every deformed baby born in India is the reincarnation of some Hindu god?
