In Kanpur village of Uttar Pradesh, a case of worshiping a seven-month-old girl as a goddess and offering money to her has come to light. These days the picture of that girl is going viral on social media. People believe that the child is an incarnation of the goddess. However, doctors say that the girl has a serious mental illness. Right from the time of birth, the girl’s face was different from the faces of other children.
The entire incident took place in Jarauli village of Derapur tehsil of Kanpur Dehat. A woman living here was 7 months pregnant. She suddenly went into labor. The family took him to CHC Jhinjhak. The woman gave birth to a baby girl here. But when people saw the face of the newborn, everyone was stunned.
What do doctors say?
CHC in-charge Deepak Gupta, hesitant on the whole matter, says that the weight of any newborn is around 2500 grams whereas the weight of that 7-month-old girl was 1300 grams. The girl has a brain disease called hydrocephalus. In this, the membrane of the brain gets filled with water. Because of this the child’s head appears larger than normal.
In the doctor’s opinion the condition of the girl is critical. He was referred to the district hospital but the family did not take him to the district hospital but took him home. Now it has come to light that people are worshiping the girl considering her as an incarnation of the goddess.

The doctor says that this is a kind of dangerous disease. This is in dire need of treatment. People are playing with her life by not treating her and worshiping her like a goddess. The girl should be treated in a big hospital.
