A baby girl born with a protrusion resembling an elephant’s “trunk” is being hailed as the reincarnation of a god in northern India.
The yet-to-be-named girl was born with a bulge that obscures her nose in the Uttar Pradesh province Thursday, according to the Times of India.
Doctors said a gene mutation combined with possible malnutrition gave the girl the protuberance.
But people in the area said there was something more divine at work.
