An unprecedented gathering to witness the birth of a helpless 8-limbed newborn
The birth of a baby with four arms and four legs has captured the attention of locals in Sadar Hospital in eastern India. The child, whose gender is yet to be revealed, has been idolized by the community, with many believing that the unique appearance and extra limbs are a manifestation of God.
Video footage shows curious residents gathering around the child, taking pictures, and observing the exposed organs. The baby can be seen resting in a basket filled with colorful sheets placed on the mother’s lap as she sits upright in a hospital bed.
However, doctors have confirmed that the birth defects are due to a pregnancy complication and not related to religion, despite the local beliefs associating the child’s condition with a divine incarnation. This situation is not unprecedented, as a similar case was reported previously with a six-year-old girl who had two noses and a trunk in Uttar Pradesh, northern India. The girl, named Lakshimi, was also believed by some locals to be an incarnation of the Hindu god Lord Ganesha.
It’s important to approach such cases with medical knowledge and understanding, as birth defects can have various causes and are not necessarily linked to religious or divine significance. Medical professionals are best equipped to provide accurate explanations and guidance in such situations.
