The Child WIth 8 Limbs

As reported in the Daily Mail, a two-year-old girl worshipped as a goddess after being born with four arms and four legs is taking her first steps since having her extra limbs removed




Lakshmi Tatama is an Indian girl born in 2005 in a village in Araria district, Bihar, having "4 arms and 4 legs." She was actually a pair of ischiopagus conjoined twins where one twin was headless due to its head atrophying and chest under-developing in the womb. The result looked like one child with four arms and four legs.



Families in her remote village in India believed she was the reincarnation of the eight limbed Hindu goddess of wealth and fortune Lakshmi.



Her parents were reluctant to agree to the operation for fear it would bring bad luck until doctors told them she would struggle to survive into her teens without it.

Now the brave youngster is learning to walk for the first time eight months after the successful 27-hour procedure.




Lakshmi, whose progress is being monitored by American television's National Geographic Channel and ABC, now attends a school for disabled children.
