In a rare case of its kind, a cow in the village of Pragnandgaon in India gave birth to a calf with three eyes and four nostrils, according to “Asian News International”.
As the news spread, a large number of people queued at the farmer’s house to “worship the calf” and described it as “the embodiment of God”.
The cow, owned by farmer Hemant Chandel, was born from Nawagon Lodhi village on January 13.
“The calf has an extra eye in the middle of its forehead and also four holes in its nostrils,” Chandel told PTI by phone.
Quoting a veterinarian, the farmer said the calf is in good health.

He added, “But because of the length of the calf’s tongue, it is facing difficulties in drinking cow’s milk, and we are helping it to feed it.”
He continued, “The latest calf born with a rare dissection surprised everyone. We believe that God Almighty was born in our house.” As news spread about this rare calf, residents of nearby villages and towns began to visit Chandel’s house to worship him as an “incarnation of Lord Shiva.”
However, a veterinarian said that “such cases occur due to abnormal development of the fetus and not something supernatural,” according to “ndtv”.
