They however began feeling happier about it after a local priest told them that he was a reincarnated god.
The priest believes Deshant is a reincarnation of the Hindu god of Monkeys known as Lord Hanuman, according to Hindu mythology.
Filmmaker Puskar Nepal who interviewed Deshant said the priest told the lad's parents not to cut it or use anything to comb the tail as he may possess some supernatural powers.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an African-American woman had given birth to a baby with natural red hairs.
The mother of the kid stated that she knew from an ultrasound taken while pregnant that her child is hairy but had no idea he would have red hair.
According to the boy's mum, one of the nurses in the labour room screamed when her baby came out and that got her very worried. Shortly after the scream, the nurse informed her of the colour of her son's skin and she was surprised.
