Cyclops Calf born with One Eye and No Nose Worshipped as a ‘Miracle of God’ in India

The newborn from the Bardhaman district of West Bengal in India, has just a single large eye and no nose, according to locals.

The animal was said to have been rejected by its mother – but then adopted by locals who are now caring for it.

The calf has cyclopia, a rare congenital disorder that occurs in both humans and animals.



It develops in the womb when the left and right hemispheres of the brain do not separate as they are meant to early on in pregnancy.

A creature with cyclopia may be able to distinguish light and dark but will not have proper vision because the retina won't form properly.


Local sources claim it is being worshipped "as a God".


A source said: "Ever since the calf was born, the people have crowded to see the calf.

"They are now considering it to be a miracle of God and have started worshipping it.

"The cow had been discarded by its mother and the women are feeding the cow.

"The people think that worshipping the cow is going to bring luck and prosperity to the family of whoever worships it."
