DAILY MAIL

The parents of a baby who was born in India with 26 fingers and toes have called her the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess. 

The young girl, who was born at a hospital in Bharatpur, in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, has seven fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

While doctors have described her condition as a genetic anomaly, her family are reportedly delighted and have publicly called her the reborn version of Dholagarh Devi, a well-known local deity whose temple is near where the girl was born. 

Statues of the deity reveal she is a young girl with several arms. 

The baby’s mother, named as Sarju Devi, 25, is said to be delighted.

Her brother, who has not been named, told local media: ‘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.’

The baby’s father, Gopal Bhattacharya, is a police constable in the Central Reserve Police Force and he is also said to be very happy.
