The child has been named God Boy, as multiple limbs are common among Hindu deities, and people are travelling from across the region to the city in West Bengal State to get a glimpse of the child.
The Baby was born in Baruipur, East India as locals believe he is the reincarnation of a god.
The family are overjoyed at their new addition and see him as the son Hindu God Brahma, who is depicted with eight limbs.
‘When he first came out we couldn’t believe it, the nurses said he was badly deformed but I could see that this was a sign from God. In fact, this is a miracle, its God’s baby. Indian God’s have extra limbs just like this,’ a relative said.
