Mumbai: A baby cow was born with an additional eye in the middle of his head in Tamil Nadu’s Kolathur district, according to the Daily Mail.

The three-eyed calf is now being worshipped as a deity in India, as the village folks believe it to be an incarnation of Shiva.

While some visitors thronged the village just to see the special calf for themselves, others offered their prayers and sought blessings.

As reported, the calf's owner, Rajesh, says the animal is a 'miracle' sent to bring good luck to their village.

“This is a miracle calf, so we are worshipping and praying to it like a god,” he says. “We believe if we worship this calf it will give good luck for us and the people around us.”
