A calf born on a farm in India has started аttгасtіпɡ visitors who believe it to be the incarnation of a Hindu god thanks to its third eуe – and an extra pair of nostrils.
Despite its extra features, the ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ animal, which was born in the village of Rajnand, Chhattisgarh, has been deemed fit and healthy.
Some locals have сɩаіmed that the baby animal is an incarnation of Lord Shiva – one of the three gods of Hinduism.
This has even led to people making special journeys to the farm in order to see the three-eyed calf – with some believing that the birth of the animal will bring luck and prosperity to the village.

Some locals believe that the birth of this animal will bring luck and prosperity to the village.
Farmer Neeraj Chandel mentioned, “As soon as the cow gave birth, we initially thought it had some sort of injury on its forehead, but then we discovered it was an eye with the help of a flashlight. We also noticed four nostrils, which attracted the attention of the local residents following the nocturnal birth.”
The locals have been offering gifts of coconuts and flowers to the newly-born calf.
The mother cow has previously given birth to two “normal” calves that are now fully grown.
It is understood that the presence of the third eye on the animal has been caused by a hormonal disorder.
The calf weighs approximately 30 pounds and has a longer tongue compared to other calves.
