Ram Temple Inauguration Sparks Unique Trend: Kanpur Hospital Faces Surge In C-Section Requests On Jan 22

A group of 15 pregnant women in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, have expressed their desire to have cesarean deliveries scheduled for January 22, coinciding with the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Dr. Seema Dwivedi, heading the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at GSVM Medical College, shared that numerous women wish to deliver "when Ram Lalla arrives," hoping their child will inherit qualities akin to Lord Ram.

The hospital has made arrangements for 35 C-section operations on that day to accommodate these requests.

January 22 also coincides with the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat from 11:51 AM to 12:33 PM, associated with dispelling negative energies in Hindu mythology as Lord Shiva vanquished the demon Tripurasur.

Moreover, the Mrigashira Nakshatra begins at 03:52 AM and extends till 04:58 AM on January 23, considered auspicious for the temple's inaugural ceremony.

Additionally, the 'Amrit Siddhi Yoga' and 'Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga' align on this date, traditionally auspicious for new beginnings, ventures, or purchases.

However, emphasizing a specific time and date for deliveries based on auspicious muhurats may overshadow potential complications for both the mother and baby, cautioned healthcare professionals.
