A baby has been born with 14 fingers and 12 toes at a hospital in Rajasthan, Northwestern India.

The baby girl has seven fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

The doctors, who took the delivery of the baby, described her condition as a genetic anomaly.

According to Daily Mail, the girl’s family were delighted and called her the reborn version of Dholagarh Devi, a well-known local deity whose temple is near where the girl was born.

A medic at the hospital where the baby was born, Dr BS Soni, said: “There is no harm of any kind in having 26 fingers, but it is a genetic anomaly. The girl is otherwise absolutely healthy.”

It could not be ascertained whether the family are planning to have their newborn girl undergo surgery to reduce the number of her fingers and toes.
