Named in homage to the goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of wealth, fortune, and prosperity, Lakshmi Tatma’s very appellation signifies a connection to the divine, a reflection of the symbiotic bond between the earthly realm and the celestial spheres.

Αlthough the daughter is worshiped as a goddess by everyone, Lakshmi’s parents still wish that she could have surgery to amputate her limbs to become a normal girl, able to go to school, go out, grow up without meeting any strange things . However, due to the high cost of surgery, this desire remains the dream of Lakshmi’s parents.
Fortunately, Dr. Sharan Patil, leading a research team of more than 30 surgeons accepted the challenge. He realized the parents’ dream of a four-legged-four-armed girl with a 24-hour surgery, completely free, at a hospital in the southern city of Bangalore. During the surgery, Dr. Patil removed the extra limb for little Lakshmi, helping her to have a normal body like everyone else.
Αfter the surgery, Dr Patil said: “Now she can live like all other girls.” Αfter seeing his daughter have a normal body and recover very well, Lakshmi’s father Shambu was extremely emotional, he said: “We don’t know what to say, we are extremely grateful to the doctors who wear them. Despite knowing my family’s poverty, I still performed the surgery for free, helping my daughter have a normal life.”
