A hospital in Rajasthan has stirred controversy by refusing to accommodate requests for “muhurat deliveries,” a practice rooted in cultural beliefs that align childbirth with auspicious timing.

The administration at the hospital stated that medical safety and evidence-based practices take precedence over traditional customs. “Our priority is to ensure the health of both the mother and child,” a hospital spokesperson said. “We cannot compromise medical standards for cultural practices.”

The decision has sparked a debate within the community, with some parents expressing disappointment over the denial of traditional practices they believe to be significant. Meanwhile, health experts have praised the hospital’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being of patients over cultural superstitions.

In response to the growing conversation, local health officials have emphasized the importance of following medical guidelines. “Childbirth is a complex process that should not be influenced by superstition,” a health official remarked.

As discussions continue, the hospital remains firm in its stance, advocating for a focus on health outcomes rather than adhering to traditional beliefs. The situation has ignited conversations about the intersection of culture and modern medical practices in India.
