Lakshmi Tatma

Lakshmi Tatma (Hindi: लक्ष्मी तात्मा) is an Indian girl born in 2005 in a village in Araria district, Bihar, having "four arms and four legs." She was actually one of a pair of ischiopagus conjoined twins one of which was headless because its head had atrophied and chest had not fully developed in the womb, causing the appearance of one child with four arms and four legs.Her father, Shambhu, and mother, Poonam, were day laborers who earned less than 40 rupees per day, and were unable to afford a separation surgery for their daughter. The daughter was named after Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth (who is depicted as four-armed). She was sometimes an object of worship as an incarnation of the goddess; by the age of 2, she was known all over India. At one point, a circus offered the couple a sum of money to buy Lakshmi as a sideshow, which forced the family into hiding. At the time of being found by Dr. Sharan Patil, she was suffering from an infected pressure ulcer at the neck end of the parasitic twin and continuous fevers. Wikipedia
