Who wants to be a goddess?

An unemployed...man has found work at last - as an Indian Goddess who thousands of Hindus believe can cure infertility.

Pilgrims head to a remote jungle temple to be blessed by Steve Cooper, 32, from South West London. He is regarded as a reincarnation of Bahucharaji, the patron of Indian eunuchs. He has been at the temple in the northern state of Gujarat for three months.

Every time Steve walks through the local village, people flock to greet him, shouting: "Jay Bahuchar Ma" - "The goddess is here."

Steve calls himself Pamela.

Hrm...

I am the reincarnation of the ancient god, uh... Beerbelligut! Worship me, mortals! I will not, however, be changing my name to Pamela; you may refer to me as The Great One. And bring beer. Minimum offering is a case of German lager.
