"Some say he is like a god and they come to worship him and give money," his father, Rikhi Ghimire, told the Guardian.
"They just give a few rupees, make an offering. Mostly the gifts are food and clothes," Ghimire added.
"Some say it is a miracle or that it is God, and others say it is a curse. There is a lack of awareness so villagers cannot understand it," Ghimire told the paper.
Risab's mother, Januk, who has two other sons, gave birth in January.
"When he was born I was frightened about what the other villagers would say," she said.
"If my husband hadn't been there, I would have been scared they would say I was a witch and come and kill me," she added.
