2 Faced Baby Born in India
A very special girl was born last March in a small suburb of Delhi, India.
She was born with 4 eyes, 2 noses, 2 mouths, 2 ears, and 1 dimple on a shared cheek.
Similar to Lakshmi Tatma, a 2 year-old girl born with four arms and four legs, she is reverred as a reincarnated god by her local villagers, who sing and dance regularly for her.
“I had never seen something like this in my life so naturally I was a little scared when I first saw her,” her father was quoted as saying.
The young girl and her mother are both healthy and the family has no intentions of seeking surgery to correct the deformities.
“The doctor said everything is normal when she was born. So where’s the need to get medical help?” said the child’s father. “She’s fed through one mouth and sucks her thumb with the other. We use whichever mouth is free to feed her.”

now that is seriously some freaky shit…
i wonder if they each have different personalities..
give a whole new meaning to the term 4 eyes…
wow do they shared the same brain? or they are actually one? I was wondering how they suppose to moved at the same time if they are born with different brain.
I think it would be the most complicated surgery it going to have if the father agree for it.
I would think surgery would be really really risky - I wonder how she sees with four eyes, too.
But hey, being the reincarnation of Durga? Not too shabby.
I agree with you entirely. I would think that if only one mouth can be used to feed the two headed child/children that their is only one brain working in two different heads. Who knows but the nurses and doctors that are caring for them. If there are two brains then the heads could be severed, and each would have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. The cheek would have to be corrected somehow, and maybe they could share that dimple. But, if there is only one heart, two kidneys, one liver, and two lungs, two bowels and one indigestive system, how could a man from India where people are so poor ever have his babies separated at a cost so high that no poor family could ever afford the surgery, unless brought to the US for US doctors to treat it like a guinnee pig. He doesn’t know it now, but they will be laughed at, gawked at, and as they grow times will get hard just living each day, unless they leave this pair in a hospice to get the care it needs.
At least the child lives in a culture which accepts it. In western countries it would be treated as a freak–these people seem willing to accept it as a miracle of nature.
what the hell is wrong with you?that comment was seriously retarded.
Life is hard and no promise of a “Rose Garden” is guaranteed. As a parent I cannot imagine this type of birth to me. It appears the birth is so devastating to them that they revere the baby as a type of god. No one wants to say that these are, “Birth Abnormalities.” As any child, they are small now, however, they do have to grow and face life that is not so kind. I wish them well. I can almost feel the intersuffering.
you dope, it’s a different culture, they are cool with the defects in a way that eurocentric westernized cultures are to superficial to understand…
it’s not a “different culture”, it’s a bunch of people who are ignorant, uneducated, and couldn’t tell you the meaning of “conjoined twins” if they had guns to their heads. the west isn’t superficial for including conjoined twins under defined birth defects because that’s what conjoined twins are — a birth defect. it has nothing to do with how it LOOKS. it’s a defect because they usually end up dead of organ failures after a typically short, arduous life. if these people had any comprehension of that, versus ridiculous religious superstition, they’d be horrified.
O_O wow…
this bring a whole new meaning to the word “twin” >.<
Really good photoshop. I almost believed it at first.
its not photoshop
ahh.. good o photoshop… ic ic
then what about the video? what do they use for that?
fUNNY BECAUSE THESE ARE REAL PICTURES.
Not Photoshop - there is lots of video of the baby - I found this thread because I first heard the story in April 08 and was wondering if there were any updates - the photos (and YouTube video) I saw back then were of a newborn, the photos above definitely show a more mature baby.
Looks like she’s doing just fine.
how can that happen
God be with this child no matter what the parent decision is on having surgery on the precious child.
Read a book, for crap’s sake. It’s not the first baby born like that and it won’t be the last.
what a poor child.
There must be a beauty doctor who will treat him for free.
not a him a her ya moron. they said a reincarnation of a goddess meaning girl.
There is something in the water in India?
The girl was born on Monday at a hospital in the suburbs of Delhi, according to the Daily Mail.
Since then, people in her rural village have been singing and dancing — offering money and asking for her blessings.
The parents are hoping the government will help with medical treatments needed for their baby girl in the future.
fck u darwing duck, wherever the fck u are from.
you’re an idiot.
To: DARKWING DUCK
You are no medical professional.
the medical term for the condition is “facial duplication”.
What the doctors do not know is whether her tiny body is actually supporting a parasitic twin, since her parents have refused to allow doctors to perform a CAT scan or MRI to determine the extent of her deformity, even though they have offered to do so for free.
The people think it Ganesh.
Ganesh is the Hindu elephant god. Please do some background study to expand your knowledge. In a world that is increasingly religiously pluralistic, it behooves us all to have a working knowledge of the major world religions. An educated person should be conversant in the main beliefs of Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, which are the world’s four major religions.
An educated person should akshully work to avoid conversation of belief in any of the world’s four retarded religions.
Hate to break this to you folks, but Islam is actually the largest religion in the world at 21% of the worlds population, but that’s only if you dont lump all of the Christians together.
Christians 33.32% (of which Roman Catholics 16.99%, Protestants 5.78%, Orthodox 3.53%, Anglicans 1.25%), Muslims 21.01%, Hindus 13.26%, Buddhists 5.84%, Sikhs 0.35%, Jews 0.23%, Baha’is 0.12%, other religions 11.78%, non-religious 11.77%, atheists 2.32% (2007 est.)
This is according to The US Government.
IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE WATER IN INDIA?! Yes, just about anything you can imagine…diseases like cholera, hepatitis and just about anything else you can think of, animal and human waste…and lets not forget a little Western contribution in Bhopal courtesy of Union Carbide circa 1985.
These hindus’ are the freakiest shit on earth. So many of them are imigrating to the US and they disgust me. Why do you show such horrible genetic trash on your webpage? All hindus’ carry this garbage in thier genes. So what?
I feel sick after looking at this, just like every time I look at any filthy hindu freak.
Weird… Asia… News…
Go away. Now. Please.
you sick godman, its better than being a follower of Warren Jeffs or be a pedophile… all u people know is to be swingers or rape children. I am sure u do nothing more than live on unemployment paid by the money these hindus contribute for u….
no, it isn’t. it’s all the same. hindus contribute money? how the hell can they do that when they don’t have any? i’d sooner assume godman, like myself, is a westerner who has had taxes taken out of his pay and shipped to india in aide. therefore the hindus would be living off his contribution. duh.
You’re a moron. Hinduism is a religious/philosophical system, not a race. Or are you the sort of dimwitted bigot who thinks of “Muslims” as a race, too? Please, do the gene pool a favor and put a gun in your mouth.
excuse me. please watch what you say. hindus are not freaks. in fact, there is a study showing that mixed marriages, especially iwth hindus, strengthen the ‘white’ gene…. the reason this is all happening is because of the idol worshipping they perform… its a sin manifesting in physical form…
joanna, I hope you die today.
‘godman’ is just a nasty, stupid little troll. You on the other hand are pure evil. Please die soon.
agreed (with James)
thirded
Unfortunately, you know nothing about why this baby is disfigured.
Joanna, You could be more right than you know. People will reap what they sow… It could be the judgement of a Holy God that is fed up with people worshipping all these false idols.
Are you people for real? The judgment of a holy god?
And they allow ignorant dumbasses like you to vote. No wonder we’re in dire straits.
You are not a Jesus Freak. You merely hold a misguided concept of Jesus. Jesus associated with the “freaks” of His day - harlots, tax collectors, lepers. Roman Centurions, Samaritans, the demon-possessed, the dying, and even raised the dead. Jesus stepped squarely on and violated many religious and social conventions of His day. Reaping what one sows refers to going against what a person knows to be wrong. “He that knows to do right, but doesn’t, commits sin” (James 4:17). A Hindu who has never heard of Jesus, but is faithfully and consistently seeking Ultimate, Unchanging Truth (God) through Hinduism is not “worshiping false idols.” For an illustration of this concept, read C.S. Lewis’ “The Last Battle.” Near the end, the character Emeth has been seeking a false god “Tash” all his life. The lion, Aslan, who represents Jesus tells Emeth that he counts all his seeking as seeking him, because it was a lifelong, discontented and restless seeking. Even a Christian should still seek, and the Bible tells us to. Also, who are we with our finite minds to draw boundaries within which God is supposed to stay? God is sovereign, and as such, He can choose to draw a person to Him through any path of truth-seeking. If we believe otherwise, we are acting as though God were not soverign, but as though He is subject to us, which has never been, and never will, be the case. Jesus said, “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL MEN to me” (John 12:32). Verse 33 explains that this “lifting up” refers to His crucifixion. It also refers to his substitutionary sacrifice for the entire human race. We must consider that Law and Grace are two related but different things. Grace fulfilled the law through Jesus. The Jewish nation has failed in their mission of spreading the knowledge of God over the world. Jesus did not fail in his mission to provide the means for any and everyone to be reunited with God. The Bible tells us about the mechanisms that made this work among the peoples of the First Century, but it also tells us that at the end of the Book of Acts, the Gospel overcame every barrier which was presented to it. I firmly believe that if a person places limits on God in their mind, that this results in limits of what God feels compelled to do for them. In my thinking, the person who has limited God is farther away from Him than a true seeker who is not a Christian.
People will reap what they sow? Were that true Ken Lay would have been crucified and Tom Ridge torn apart by wild dogs. It’s unfortunate that disposable little cliche isn’t true.
Why would god punish a baby instead of someone who was actually commiting the sin? Your god sounds like a monster.
God did not punish this precious child. God is a God of Love. Sin is what causes these abnomalities and certain illness in people. I suggest you get into the Word of God. God allows these things to happen but does not cause them. But, God, in His time, can perform a miracle in this childs life. God is not a vengeful God. You need to read the book of John. I will pray for you.
AMEN
Yeah, who needs scientific explanations for birth defects that affect Jebus freaks and Hindus alike, when they can just attribute it to magic.
You’re an immigrant yourself, white man. Maybe you should go back to where your family originally came from.
It might be hard to fit the entire human population into the eastern portion of the African continent.
Hindus need Jesus the same as you do. They just need Jesus.
barf.
for someone saying others need jesus and need to not worship fake idols isnt it a bit sacraligious for you to use the name jesusfreak
who let you out of the basement?
Americans wonder why the rest of the world hates them. It’s because of people like you, you racist bastard! The Hindi immagrants I have met in Austalia are gentle and peaceful people. I dont know of any hindus that blow up American skyscrapers or attacks westeners in Bali, Spain etc. I’ll bet you’re a bible quotin’, gun totin’ flag-wavin’ good ol’ boy, redneck asshole from the southern section of the “Land of the Free”
Speaking as a gun totin’, flag wavin, good ol’ boy redneck asshole from the South I resent your remark. Not all of us are ignorant nor are we all “bible thumpers” as some assume. Quite frankly it appears to be you who is the “racist”. At the very least you seem to be biased against those from the southern parts of the US. Less hate, more understanding.
As for the child, if she grows in a house filled with love it doesn’t matter how she looks. Physical deformity does not mean a life of suffering as long as she is otherwise healthy. I wish her and her family all the best. The rest of you, while entitled to your opinion, should do the same.
Considering this village is helping the child (entertaining via dancing, giving money), I think that speaks a lot about their culture. Sure, they may think she’s goddess incarnate, but on the other hand at least they’re not stoning her to death or burning her at the stake.
As well, its not something in their genes. There’s a conjoined set of twins in BC, Canada, to a caucasian/white couple.
And really, racism is soooo 15th century. It should be a thing of the past and I think YOU are the filthy, disgusting one for saying such things about fellow human beings.
Eesh. some people never look beyond their own noses.
Godman,
For someone with that kind of hubris, you display remarkably ungodlike qualities of hatred and bigotry.
Sucks to be you when your wheel turns ’round.
Yup, Christians, Muslims and Jews never have birth anomalies (sarcasm for those who haven’t detected it). You’re comment only indicates that you sir/madam are a total idiot. Oh go back to your head shaving and Hitler dolls.
HMMMMM… WHEN SHE GROWS UP.
ONE GIRL. ONE CUP.
Hahaha
that just made my night. you have NO idea
nice
This child is going to have some serious medical problems. And these parents will need some outside help. I hope they know enough to see a specialist.
Poor kid. If those villagers are giving money as a sort of tribute to the kid. The parents had better start saving. If this kid isn’t fixed one day soon, she will have the added problem of psychological damage. And no normal future.
how would you define a normal future. There is no normal futurej,ust like there is no common sence its not common sence if every body doesn’t have it.
Good grammar Ray.
As in common SENSE.
Go back to the 3rd grade, jackass.
I am glad she was born there.
Better than here in the U.S. where people would treat her like a freak or try to cut off one of her faces though it may turn out that there are really two brains - and two people - in one skull.
And better than in Africa, where if she wasn’t murdered for being a freak, they’d somehow find some reason to harvest her for her body parts like they do with albinos in Tanzania.
At least in India she’ll feel loved and welcome and she will be treated well.
Are you saying that school-aged kids in India don’t taunt eachother and this child won’t face social stigma from her peers?
Are you also saying that medical specialists in the US would not have the ability to see whether there are two discrete brains inside her head?
Because I’d wager that you’re wrong on both counts.
Knock, Knock, Darek.
Goddess. They think she’s a reincarnation of a goddess…
What kid, school-aged or not, makes fun of an avatar?
I guarantee you that kid would get beat for such a sacrilegious outburst.
You all have to remember this isn’t western christian culture. This culture is different. And thank goodness for differences. Because if everyone was as blunt-brained, dim-witted, close-minded bigots as I’ve seen churned out of the western christian culture- I’d like to think I wouldn’t be the only one shooting myself just to escape the mentality. Even when I was christian, I thought I’d rather go to hell than deal with the people I see thumping their bibles even if in some spiritual paradise.
Unfortunately, the child probably will have severe difficulty as she grows. But if the whole village has to carry her around on a lofted seat as she attends religious ceremonies and becomes the wise woman of her people, I’m thinking they won’t mind. And, so long as she’s not in great pain, neither will she. She’s eating- so it doesn’t seem she’s in pain.
eww gross kill it kill it
You fcker ryan..You have no heart and god will judge u on that.
why is everyone criticizing this poor kid? she had no control over the way she was born and neither did her parents. and don’t judge someone just because of their religion. they could do the same to all those people in america who have some strange belief. no wonder the whole world hates the us. you’re all a bunch of prejudiced prick who can’t accept anyone for who they are.
Woot, speak on bro!
Actually, being an American, I’m ashamed to be surrounded by these ignorant assholes, rest assured we’re not all ignorant, selfish, prejudicial pricks.
Not at all–unfortunately, a lot of the Americans who ARE ignorant, selfish, prejudicial pricks end up posting on the internet. Or dumb. A lot of dumb Americans post on the internet too.
I don’t know how this happens but it don’t just happen in india and being hindu don’t have much to do with it. In Loma Linda, California if you go to the medical muesum you can see plenty of this kind of stuff. And yes they were aborted, all kinds of fetuses in right here in america.
they should kill it before it conquers cities …those indians got some freaky shit over there …could make money in weirdo porn tho …ya i went there
the idiots ryan, SATAN, and godman… you are insensitive wankers
She is beautiful! Thank God she was born in a country that embraces a difference instead of pointing fingers and saying “aww poor poor baby.” She will grow up and have lines of men wanting her hand in marriage because she is viewed as a goddess.
So the only reason that she’s being accepted by the villagers is not for her and her alone, but because she resembles a religious figure that those people have been brought up to idolise and revere from birth. Doesn’t seem all that altruistic and non-judgemental to me. They’ll soon be expecting miracles from her, hundreds of them lining up night and day to fix their ills.
They may think of this as a nonissue, but let’s not confuse the reason for them doing so.
Maybe she will perform miracles. Maybe she is a reincarnated goddess.
There is no such thing as “reincarnation”
You only have one chance at life to “get it right”
It is appointed unto man, once to die, and after this… the judgement. Hebrews 9:27
JesusFreak… very clever, using one religious belief to discredit another… there’s almost as many Hindu’s as Christians… the two believe different things. That’s how it works.
I have the book Jesus Freak - excellent book! Kind of like a modern-day Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. ^_^
Thank you, cynical730 for that unsolicited plug!
Sad thing is, Jesus died for you, too………
what are you talking about for being her and her alone. shes a baby for christ sakes
i totaly agree
i think she is beautiful too.
She’s a beautiful baby. I too am so glad she was born where she will be surrounded by love, admiration, and respect.
You people make me sick.
psychological problems? she’ll probally be more sane then anyone who’s lived their whole without having to stand out. just because she looks different doesn’t mean shes going to have psychological problems.
health problems maybe. but don’t forget that we are all just deformed monkey with a few millennium of birth defects. maybe this is next?
Saying that she’ll be fine is no different than saying she’ll have issues. Its just a shot in the dark. No one can tell how she’ll be able to deal with this, how much support her envinronment will offer, etc.
I understand that you want to think positively in a situation like this, but don’t castigate someone for pointing out the strong possibility of psychological issues. People’s self esteems have suffered greatly from abnormalities a fraction as pronounced as this.
goosebumps… it’s perfectly symmetric.
Holy Crap!!! that kids got a furry forehead…
er… two furry foreheads. I think you may have missed the core theme of the article.
I think this baby … just ewww *barfs and coughs*. After im done with Irak and Iran, india is next. This forum is under federal investigation! LOL. *eats barf*
XD XD XD XD
That was awesome! Totally believable.
And speaking of being “deformed monkey with a few millennium of birth defects” (thank you Anon). George W? XD
She has a very promising career at the New Dheli PeoplePC call center.
…and she could take two calls at once! Dude, that’s wrong.
Wow, that what happens when you dump water and let cows shit in the same water you will be bathing and drinking……
This is worse than two-face from batman.
I dont think its gonna live very long….
Do all 4 eyes work…..?
I would love an 3d mri of this baby……to put in my freakshow….errr….medical study…..
It does seem like there are many extreme birth defects in India. Could also be that they’re being reported more frequently.
That baby has a big head. I bet she ripped her momma a new one.
I would think that U know nothing about bearing children. Twins are nothing strange to have, so why is this so different? With all of the malformed children in the USA, we don’t have the time or money to be giving free aid to that part of the world that is out to kill us all, and doesn’t understand anything here but money and talent.
