After undergoing surgery to remove a “trunk” that left her with two noses, a six-year-old girl has been likened to a Hindu God.
Lakshimi, who lives in Uttar Pradesh, north India, originally caused fear amongst her community due to her distinct look – but locals soon realised she was in fact a force to be reckoned with.
The little girl, who is the fourth child in her family, had a procedure to remove the deformity which eventually made her an unlikely celebrity as she was praised for having a second nose.
At first glance, children were reportedly frightened by Lakshimi’s looks, but now she has been honoured with people insisting she is an incarnation of Lord Ganesha – a Hindu god.
