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. All of Lali's facial features are duplicated except for her ears - she has two. Otherwise, she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.

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.

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.

"She is the reincarnation of a goddess," said Lakhi Chand, a 65-year-old farmer who came to see Lali from neighboring Haryana state.

"Lali is God's gift to us," said Jaipal Singh, a member of the local village council. "She has brought fame to our village."

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.

This is not right, that baby should not have been allowed to be born. Silly religious people think she's special, now she will become someone who most probably has to deal with an horrific life.
 
I wonder how her brain will manage processing all the double doses of sensory input if at all.

Will she be able to process the images from 4 eyes / smell and taste from 2 noses / mouths?
