New born girl with trunk sleeping innocently with her mother.

A baby girl born with a 'trunk' has become the center of attraction in a village in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. The family gave her name Laxmi. People are flocking to see her believing that she is an incarnation of Lord Ganesha. Devotees spoon fed her to get the blessings from her.

Ganesha is always portrayed with an elephant’s head, he is the personification of all intellectual activities, his large head and tummy symbolize his ability to store a large amount of knowledge (hence the proverbial “memory of an elephant”), his large ears gather information, and his long trunk can seek out knowledge even in the most inaccessible places.

The child has a protuberance between her two eyes which people believe resembles the trunk of Lord Ganesha.

The people from far places have swarmed the modest house of a family of labourers to get a glimpse of the 'divine' baby.
This girl is the fourth child in the family and perfectly healthy.

Some people believe this baby is an incarnation of Lord Ganesha.

People haven't stopped coming in since the news of the birth of the 'divine' baby spread.

According to doctors this protrusion is a result of gene mutation which can be caused by malnutrition and increased pollution levels.

If the family chooses, they can go for a corrective surgery for the child at a later stage in life.
