A girl born with three eyes and two noses has been attracting hordes of people who believe her to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva.

“People from far-flung areas are coming for a glimpse of my daughter. Why has god played such a cruel joke with me by giving me a daughter with abnormal features,” rued Sukhlal Mahto, the girl’s father.

Though her two eyes appear to be normal, she has a third eye in the middle of two noses. But she has not opened her third eye yet, Shuklal said.

Drawn by the belief that she is an incarnation of Shiva, the villagers visit Sukhlal’s house every day with garlands and incense sticks to worship the girl.

“It is a case of a genetic disorder,” Manish Kumar, a general physician has said.
