Claim: Photo of a miracle baby born with six legs and the symbol of Lord shiva on his forehead.
Fact-check: Edited photo of a Pakistani baby born with a polymelia disorder shared as miracle baby born with a lord Shiva symbol on his forehead - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post is a morphed one. the original photo does not show the lord shiva tattoo on the boy's forehead. the baby in the photo was born in pakistan, with a rare genetic disorder called polymelia. a team of five doctors from the national institute of child health  in karachi successfully separated the extra legs from the baby in 2012. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
