04 Aug This Man Was Born With A 14 Inch Tail And People In India Think He’s A God

Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god, is an ideal many followers of the religion look to for guidance. He is viewed as the ideal combination of strength, heroism and assertiveness, symbolising the human virtues of self-control, faith and service to a cause. So to be viewed as an incarnation of such a deity is high praise indeed.

Chandre Oraon is an Indian tea picker, living in the Alipurduar district of Jalpaiguri, in West Bengal. But what has made Chandre famous here is something he was born with: a tail that springs from his back. Measuring at 14.5 inches (36 cm), the tail has led many in the area to believe he is an incarnation of Hanuman.

Hanuman, a divine, monkey-like deity, was an ardent devotee of Rama in Hinduism. Rama was an incarnation of Vishnu, the “preserver” in the Hindu trinity. Chandre was born on the festival of Rama Navami, the celebrated birthday of Rama, leading more people to believe he is truly a reincarnation of the monkey god.
