"Baby with 2 faces born in north India. Doctors say infant with rare condition is doing well"SAINI SUNPURA, India - A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshiped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday.The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces.
Except for her ears, all of Lali's facial features are duplicated — she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.She drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time, at times she feeds from one mouth and drinks from the other", her father said. Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess of valor, Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms.
"She is leading a normal life with no breathing difficulties," said Ali, adding that he saw no need for surgery.
