A newborn calf with just one eye is being worshipped as a god in eastern India.
The little cow, whose appearance is due to a birth defect, was born in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal.
In video footage shared online, the one-eyed calf, which also does not have a muzzle, can be seen sticking out its tongue and gasping for breath.
