Aligarh: Baby girl born with 'trunk' is being worshipped as Lord Ganesha's wife

A baby girl born with a 'trunk' has become the center of attraction in a village in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, as people believe she is an incarnation of Lord Ganesha. Born on Thursday, the child has a protuberance between her two eyes which people believe resembles the trunk of Lord Ganesha. Reportedly, 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.
