A SIX-YEAR-OLD Indian boy is worshiped by locals who believe he is the reincarnation of the Hindu god Ganesha. Pranshu, from Jalandhar in the Indian state of Punjab, was born with a mystery medical condition that has left him with a swollen forehead and deep set, narrow eyes. Although he is unable to walk, villagers believe Pranshu is a divine child and have nicknamed him 'Lord Ganesha’ - flocking to see him outside the nearby mosque.
