Initially, locals would visit his house, but as it become too busy, he now sits outside his local mosque once a week.

Doctors have been unable to identify his condition, which has also left him unable to walk properly.

But Pranshu & his family are happy with his appearance & believe he's brought them good luck. Pransu says,

“I look like Ganesha and people don't even know my real name. My teachers also worship me at the school. My friends don't bully me at all as they believe I am Lord Ganesha. I am happy when people call me Ganesha Ji. It makes me happy. I want to be like this only. I am happy with my big head and face,”
