January 22 fervour: Expectant parents push for C-sec ‘muhurat deliveries’

Anticipation surrounds Jan 22 as expectant parents nationwide seek “muhurat deliveries” to coincide with the consecration of Ayodhya’s Ram temple. Couples are adjusting due dates, influenced by the belief that babies born on this day will be imbued with qualities that define “Maryada Purushottam”. Bharti’s due date, originally Feb 7, has been moved forward by more than two weeks.
