Many couples in India whose babies were born on the inauguration of Ayodhya’s Ram temple have been named after Lord Ram and Goddess Sita. In fact many couples sought ‘muhurat deliveries’ to coincide with the ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony in Ayodhya on Monday.
Some people felt that it was an auspicious day and therefore wanted the delivery to be done on the historic day when Lord Ram is back in Ayodhya. A hospital in Karnataka conducted more than 20 deliveries on Monday.
At a hospital in Kanpur, 25 babies were delivered on Monday. Many boys born on Monday were named Ram and girl babies born were named Sita by their parents.
Boy babies were also given other names of Lord Ram like Raghav, Raghavendra, Raghu and Ramendra and girls were named Janaki besides the name of Sita.
