Lakshmi tatama is an Indian born 2-year-old girl in 2005 in northern state of Bihar Having 4 arms and 4 legs.
Her father and mother were day laborers who earns less than USD $1 a day as casual laborers, wanted her to have the operation but were unable to pay for the rare procedure, which has never before been performed in India.
they were forced to keep her in hiding after they were approached by men offering money in exchange for putting their daughter in a circus. Many villagers, however, remain opposed to surgery and are planning to erect a temple to Lakshmi, who they still revere as sacred
Before the operation, while being treated for the ulcer and the fever, she was again sometimes an object of worship as an incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi.(the multi-limbed Hindu goddess of wealth.) .Laxshmi was the subject of a surgery carried out by Dr.Sharan Patil and 30 other best physicians included Chief Anesthetist Dr.Yohanann John at Sparsh Hospital in southern Indian city of Bangalore.The surgery lasted for 40 hours. The operation is being conducted by specialists in pediatrics, neurosurgery, orthopedics and plastic surgery.The doctors gave Lakshmi a 75-80%chance of survival during the surgery.
After the operation,Laxshmi’s recovery so far has been swift and satisfactory.
Afterwards, Laxshmi and her family moved in different States in India and she joined a school for disabled children and her father got a job on that school’s farm.
