Four-armed is . . .

Doctors in India operating on a two-year-old child who was born with four arms and four legs say that the surgery is going well.

Lakshmi Tatma is joined at the pelvis to what is, in effect, a headless, undeveloped twin. . .

The child has been hailed by some in her village in the northern state of Bihar as the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi.

UPDATE: More here, with X-rays.
