Her parents hail her as a goddess
Legit.ng learnt the child’s parents are thrilled about the delivery. The baby’s mother, Sarju Devi, who is 25, expressed excitement about the newborn.
“My sister has given birth to a baby who has 26 fingers, and we are considering it to be the incarnation of Dholagarh Devi. We are very happy, Sarju’s brother told local media, New York Post reports.
Medical professionals and the parents disagree over the baby’s condition
The baby’s family’s joy stems from their belief that the child is a reincarnation of a Hindu goddess – Dholagarh Devi.
Dholagarh Devi is a renowned deity, and her temple is near the baby’s birthplace. Sculptures portray the goddess of Dholagarh as a youthful figure with multiple arms. The baby’s father, Gopal Bhattacharya, is reportedly happy about the delivery.
However, medical professionals said the baby’s condition is a genetic anomaly.
