A little girl who was believed to be a living God because of her EIGHT limbs!
People in an Indian village believes that this little girl was a goddess because of the condition, however, doctors have another explanation.
Lakshmi Tatma was born with four legs and four arms |
Lakshmi Tatma was born with eight limbs - four arms and legs. She was named Lakshmi as she was born on the night of Diwali, the festival dedicated to the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi.
She lives in a remote Indian village where she was thought of as a living God. But according to the doctors, Lakshmi Tatma carries a parasitic conjoined twin. This was a very rare anomaly that could possibly soon kill her.
Her parents was left to decide whether they would have Lakshmi's extra limbs removed or let her live like a Goddess for the rest of her life - and they choose a really great decision.
In the Southern Indian city of Bangalore was where the operation of removing the extra limbs took place.
When Lakshmi Tatma and her family returned to the village, in Northern India, the were not accepted because they believe that it was not the same Lakshmi Tatma. So Lakshmi and her family became outcasts.
Sambhu, Lakshmi's father, works as a labourer. He said that his daughter was not fine and badly needed a medical treatment so the fluid leaking from where she was operated would stop. He admits that they can't afford it.
What Lakshmi Tatmas father could earn was quite little for the financial support she needed. The health of the child as a result of complications from the surgery has now once again taken a turn for the worst.
While Pooman, Lakshmi's mother, said the doctors who operated on her daughter told her at that time that she would require another operation after eight years.
According to Pooman, they do not know what to do for Lakshmi's operation to happen again.
an NGO in Rajasthan allegedly helped Lakshim's and her family after her case was reported by the media.
