Indian man worshipped like a god after growing TAIL out of his back






An Indian man with a 14.5 inch TAIL growing out of his back is being hailed as a God.
Locals in the Alipurduar region believe 35-year-old Chandre Oraon is a reincarnation of the Hindu monkey deity Hanuman.
Many also believe that his ability to climb trees almost effortlessly is further proof of the divine similarities.
Many of his devotees travel hundreds of miles to queue up outside his house in Alipurduar, West Bengal, to seek blessings by touching his tail.
"I am Hanuman. People have a lot of respect for me because of my tail. I don’t mind the tail at all. It is a gift by God," he said.
Many of Chandre's followers believe he has healing powers.
Monika Lakda, who had travelled overnight to see Chandre at his small makeshift shrine, said: “My brother’s son was once very unwell and had fever.
"We gave him medicine but it did not work. So we came to Chandre to seek his blessings. The baby recovered soon after that.
“We believe that Chandre is an incarnation of Hanuman. They say he was born on the Holy Hanuman day. So we have faith in him."
But doctors say the 35-year-old's tail is caused by a rare congenital defect, and have offered to remove it - something which Chandre has vehemently resisted.
He said: “Once my mother chopped of my tail when I was young. Soon after, I got a high fever and I was very sick. My mother told me that I almost died.
“After that, everyone said I must keep the tail. My family said they felt me getting sick was a sign that my tail was divine."
Chandre's uncle, Baldev Ram, added: "With age, his tail has also been growing longer. So, we realised very early that he has the blessings of God."
