Lakshmi Tatma, 2 years old is a strange little girl, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 with four arms and four legs. Although deformed, Lakshmi Tatma is not shunned and hated, but revered. The reason is because she is considered the reincarnation of the Indian god Vishnu.

The girl’s name is named after the goddess Lakshmi – the goddess of wealth and luck, and also the wife of the god Vishnu. According to Lakshmi’s parents, in the village where the family lives, people respect her very much because they think she is the goddess who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in the village.

However, according to scientific explanation, Lakshmi’s strange body shape is caused by incomplete twins conjoined below the pelvis. As a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, it does not have a big impact, but as an adult, Lakshmi will face a lot of problems that arise. Therefore, although the daughter is worshiped as a goddess by everyone, Lakshmi’s parents still wish that she could have surgery to amputate her limbs to become a normal girl, able to go to school , go out, grow up without meeting any strange eyes.

However, because the cost of surgery is too expensive, that wish is still just a dream of Lakshmi’s parents. Fortunately, Dr Sharan Patil, leading a research team of more than 30 surgeons accepted the challenge. He fulfilled the parents’ dream of a four-legged-armed girl with a 24-hour surgery, completely free, at a hospital in the southern city of Bangalore. During the surgery, Dr. Patil removed the extra limb for little Lakshmi, helping her to have a normal body like everyone else. After the surgery, Dr Patil said: “Now she can live like all other girls.”

After seeing his daughter have a normal body and recover very well, Lakshmi’s father Shambu was extremely emotional, he said: “We don’t know what to say, we are extremely grateful to the doctors who wear them. Despite knowing my family’s poverty, I still performed the surgery for free, helping my daughter have a normal life.”
