A baby born in Rajasthan was born with 26 fingers and toes—and her family thinks it’s divine. The newborn from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, has seven fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. Medical professionals said that she was born with a rare genetic abnormality, but her family believes she’s actually the “second coming of a Hindu goddess”. Dholagarh Devi is a well-known deity whose temple is located close to where the baby was born. Statues depict the goddess of Dholagarh as a young girl with several arms. The baby’s mother, Sarju Devi, 25, is apparently thrilled, and her brother told local media, “My sister has given birth to a baby who has 26 fingers, and we are considering it to be the reincarnation of Dholagarh Devi. We are very happy.” It’s unknown if the baby’s parents will choose for her to undergo surgery to get the digits down to 10 fingers and 10 toes, but there’s nothing medically wrong with her.
