Villagers believe he is a divine child and a reincarnation of the god Ganesha. Ganesha, depicted with an elephant's head on a human body, is the god of good fortune who provides prosperity, fortune and success.
The boy is worshipped by people - including his teachers - who bow down their heads before him. He meets a crowd outside a temple near his village every Thursday.
The boy comes from a poor family and his father, a labourer, earns less than £4 per day.
Pranshu has four siblings, including an elder brother who has the same medical condition. However he can walk properly unlike the Hindu god.
Pranshu was taken to a local doctor a year after his birth but they were unable to offer a definitive diagnosis or offer any treatment.
