The village in West Bengal has become overrun with thousands of worshippers flocking to see the child, who has four arms and four legs, at the hospital.
His condition is believed to be caused by the baby’s twin being joined to him in the womb.
Many were crying and praying – suggested he was the Hindu God Brahma – while some believed it was a sign of the end of the world.
A relative of the ‘God Baby’ told a television station in Baruipur, east India: ‘When he first came out we couldn’t believe it. The nurses said he was badly deformed but I could see that this was a sign from God.
‘In fact, this is a miracle, its God’s baby. Indian God’s have extra limbs just like this.’
