Six-year-old Amar Singh is worshiped as a godlike figure in Nijmapur, a small village in the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India, after growing a 12-inch long tail.
Amar, who is the youngest of five siblings has a patch of thick hair starting in the small of his back which has grown to more than 12 inches in length to resemble a 'tail' and the villagers have hailed it as a sign that he is connected to the Hindu god Hanuman, a monkey-like deity.
His family also believes he looks like a cow, an animal considered holy in Hindu culture and affirmed by Amar's interest in cows.
