SAINI SUNPURA, India – In a northern Indian village, a baby was born with two faces. She is healthy and is being worshipped as the rebirth of a Hindu goddess, her father told Tuesday.
Craniofacial duplication:
The baby named as Lali, actually has an extremely unusual form known as craniofacial duplication in which a single head has two faces. Apart from for her ears, all of Lali’s facial features are duplicated — she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.
“My daughter is healthy and well — like any other child,” mentioned Vinod Singh, 23, a poor farm worker.
Lali caused a sensation in the village of Saini Sunpura, situated 25 miles east of New Delhi. When she left the hospital, after eight hours of a normal delivery on March 11, she was thronged by villagers, stated Sabir Ali, the director of Saifi Hospital.
“She drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time,”Ali further adds.
