According to some believers in the Asian country, the baby could represent some kind of Hindu god. For now, what is known is that the mother, Kareena, came to a hospital asking for help after feeling contractions.
On Saturday at the Shahabad Community Health Center in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous region, the woman gave birth. The baby was born with eight appendages instead of one and weighed 2.94 kilos.
The most surprising thing about the newborn’s physiognomy was that attached to his stomach he had four extra limbs: two arms and two legs to spare.
Upon learning of the birth, people from the region flocked to the hospital to see the baby. According to some, it is a reincarnation of Lakshmi, a Hindu goddess with multiple limbs and who means wealth, power, beauty and fertility.
But this was not the only deity to which the infant was compared. According to the mythology of that country, babies with this type of malformation would come with the blessing of the god Vishnu.

Why did this happen?
Although the scientific community is still unclear about the explanation for the anomaly in this baby, surely it is a case of polymelia. This is a type of birth defect that results in children being born with more limbs than normal.
Usually these arms or legs have deformities so they are not useful in the life of creatures. In the case of twins, it can be presented as a split in which both organisms share parts of their body.
The beginning of this defect sometimes occurs when one of the fetuses consumes the weakest and happens to have the extremities of the other.
