Baby Girl born in India with a 'trunk' is being worshipped by Llocals as reincarnated Hindu god Ganesha

A baby girl born in India with a 'trunk-like' protrusion between her eyes is being worshipped by locals who believe she is the reincarnation of the Hindu god Ganesha.

The girl, who has yet to be named, was born Thursday in a village in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, in the country's north, ANI reported.

The news that there is a 'divine' child in the village has spread, bringing many visitors who have nicknamed her 'Lord Ganpatni' meaning 'Ganesha's wife'.

The girl comes from a poor family with her father hoping his daughter's birth will bring the family better luck.
