The decision to name the child 'Ram Rahim' was made by the baby's grandmother, Husna Bano. Explaining the choice, Bano expressed a desire to convey a powerful message of unity between Hindus and Muslims. The christening of the child with a name associated with Lord Rama exemplifies the spirit of communal amity prevailing in the region.
Simultaneously, in the Sambhal district's Chandauli area, a petite temple dedicated to Lord Rama was inaugurated during the celebration of Pran Pratishtha. Remarkably, this temple found its place within the delivery room of a private nursing home. Expectant mothers were treated to glimpses of Lord Rama's image as they prepared to give birth on the same Monday.
Dr. Vandana Saxena, the physician at the nursing home, shed light on the unique decorations and rituals undertaken to commemorate Lord Rama's consecration in Ayodhya.
