PEOPLE from across the world have flocked to a remote village in northern India to seek blessings from a man whose parents say is the “incarnation of God”.
At first glance, Manpreet Singh looks like a happy toddler who responds to his mother’s words with a wide smile.
But a closer look reveals he is an adult trapped inside a pint-size body.
Manpreet, from Ramdittewala Village in Punjab, northern India, is a 31-year-old man.
He stands just 23 inches tall and weighs 7.5kg. He cannot talk or walk.
He suffers from an unknown condition that stunted his growth both physically and mentally a year after his birth, but his parents believe that Singh is gift from God.
“We had never heard of a child like him before or had seen anyone like him but we have accepted him as a God’s gift…he is a Sant (saint), an incarnation of God,” Manjeet Kaur, his mother, told The Sun.
Manpreet was born to Jagtar Singh, 54, a private driver and Manjeet, 50, in 1995, four years after their marriage.
Manpreet’s unique appearance initially drew taunts by villagers who would look down at him and his parents. But over the years, he has become famous in the region.
People from far and wide visit the family to seek his blessings, Jagtar said, adding that because of Manpreet, the family has flourished.
