They named her Lakshmi after the Hindu god of wealth and beauty. I think she is named that more for the number of limbs rather than being beautiful.

I was about to say; "she looks Indian... I guess the scariest thing is, is that they probably consider her a Godess of sorts, heh."

And then I actually read the article...

Quote:
A two-year-old girl worshipped as a goddess after being born with four arms and four legs is taking her first steps since having her extra limbs removed.

...

Families in her remote village in India believed she was the reincarnation of the eight limbed Hindu goddess of wealth and fortune Lakshmi.

So, so f*cking stupid. :P
