AHMEDABAD, India, March 30 (UPI) -- A former unemployed London man who resembles the ancient Indian goddess of eunuchs is now living in India as a fertility goddess.

"They revere me and believe I am a goddess. I feel what they feel in me. When I touch people I connect with them," Steve Cooper, 32, told the London Sun, Sky News reported.

Cooper blesses Hindus in a jungle temple. He said he's been treated as a deity since arriving in the northern Indian state of Gujarat three months ago.

Cooper said he was out of work when friends told him he looked like the goddess Bahucharaji.

"All my life I didn't fit in," Cooper told the newspaper, Sky News reported. "Now I've found my life. I plan to stay for good. I couldn't leave now."
