Girl Born With Two Faces Is Worshipped In India

SAINI SUNPURA, India (AP) -- In India, a baby born last month with two faces is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess.

The baby, Lali, has a single head with one set of ears. But she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes. The local hospital director says Lali is healthy otherwise, "drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time."

Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms.

Her father says up to 100 people have been visiting Lali at her home every day to touch her feet out of respect, offer money and receive blessings. A village official says, "Lali is God's gift to us."

That is just weird....both the birth defect and the fact that they are worhsipping her...

I would really be curious to know what her brain looks like! (speaking from a nursing standpoint....neurosurgery/the brain is my specialty)

Yeah, worshipping her is odd. I mean, that would be like worshipping the image of Christ in a piece of toast or something, which is something that would never happen!
