The baby boys, who are two-days-old have four arms but share two legs and most of their vital organs
The parents of conjoined twins have vowed to give their babies the best chance of survival after they were born sharing most of their vital organs.
The tiny pair stunned their parents who had not been able to afford to have a scan when they arrived fused together at the stomach and sharing two legs.
Born to new mum Guddo Devi, they were delivered by caesarean section at a hospital in Badaun in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, on Saturday.
The gynaecologist, who delivered the babies, said medics had no idea that the children were joined together.
Dr Ruchi Gupta: “This was the first such case in our hospital and we all were shocked to witness the birth of the child.
"We only learnt that the mother was carrying a conjoined twin at the last moment.

“The babies are perfectly healthy and so we did not keep them at intensive care unit and rather handed them to their mother.
"But we cannot tell how long they will survive as conjoined twins have a short-life span.”
The distressed parents, Guddo Devi, 25, and her husband Dalvir Singh, 27, who were too poor to have an ultrasound during the pregnancy are planning to consult doctors more advanced hospitals to save the twins - their first children.

Dalvir Singh said: “I never took her for regular medical check-up or an ultrasound as her pregnancy was very smooth.
"She never complained of any problem throughout her pregnancy.
"We were excited for the arrival of our first child but when I saw the babies, I could not believe my eyes.
“I had only heard of such births but never imagined I would have conjoined twins.
"My family is heartbroken but we have faith in God.
"Once the babies are discharged, I will take them to bigger hospital and consult specialists for their separation.”
