SAINI VILLAGE (MARCH 12, 2008) (ANI) - Villagers thronged to worship an unusual girl child born with a
deformity resulting in two faces and four eyes in a village of Gautmam Buddha
Nagar district in northern Uttar Pradesh state on Wednesday (March 12).

Born to Vinod Singh and his wife Sushma, the child was warmly welcomed by
the villagers, who considered the baby with the oddity as an incarnation of
God and made offerings of money and seeking her blessings.

Meanwhile, the child's family felt it would be helpful if the government
took the initiative for the treatment.

"She has been discharged from hospital and is doing fine. People
worship her in accordance with their beliefs. If the government finds suitable
treatment, we would happily accept it," said Braham Singh, grandfather of
the child.

The girl child, who was born on Monday (March 10) at Saifi hospital of
Dadri town is doing fine and so is the mother.

"A patient was admitted to our hospital around quarter to six in the
morning. An unusual girl child was delivered normally with two heads and four
eyes. Both mother and the child are healthy and doing fine," said Aas
Mohammad, a doctor of Saifi hospital in Dadri town of the district.

Scores of villagers, who gathered in the house, continued singing
devotional prayers and placing the picture of Hindu Goddess Laxmi besides the
girl child.
