Baby has two faces SAINI SUNPURA, India - A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday.
The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of Lali's facial features are duplicated — she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes. "My daughter is fine — like any other child," said Vinod Singh, 23, a poor farm worker. Story continues below ↓ ----- advertisement ----- Lali has caused a sensation in the dusty village of Saini Sunpura, 25 miles east of New Delhi. When she left the hospital, eight hours after a normal delivery on March 11, she was swarmed by villagers, said Sabir Ali, the director of Saifi Hospital. "She drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time," Ali said. Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess of valor, Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms. 'Leading a normal life' Up to 100 people have been visiting Lali at her home every day to touch her feet out of respect, offer money and receive blessings, Singh told The Associated Press. "Lali is God's gift to us," said Jaipal Singh, a member of the local village council. "She has brought fame to our village." Gurinder Osan / AP The baby's rare condition is often linked to serious health complications, but Lali is doing well, a doctor says. ----- Village chief Daulat Ram said he planned to build a temple to Durga in the village. "I am writing to the state government to provide money to build the temple and help the parents look after their daughter," Ram said. Lali's condition is often linked to serious health complications, but the doctor said she was doing well. "She is leading a normal life with no breathing difficulties," said Ali, adding that he saw no need for surgery. Lali's parents were married in February 2007. Lali is their first child. Singh said he took his daughter to a hospital in New Delhi where doctors suggested a CT scan to determine whether her internal organs were normal, but Singh said he felt it was unnecessary. "I don't feel the need of that at this stage as my daughter is behaving like a normal child, posing no problems," he said.

Well, that's pretty amazing because in a lot of places like that a child with that issue would be killed at birth and elsewhere that person's life would be a bit rough, that kid is truly blessed to be there. | |

I wonder if she'll be raised as a god actually. Would be interesting to see. I've always been fascinated by The Dali Lama's upbringing too. I mean , to be raised with completely different standards than everyone else--not just an 'elite' class amongst others, like celebrity children, royal children, etc--who do have peers... But completely unique with no equal--it has to be strange. | |

Maybe it's due to the massive population there? Strictly a numbers game? | |

Whatever I gave you the reason why I believe you see a lot of these birth defects in India. Again, it's just with a population that is so high you tend to see those one in a million cases in that country. | |
