  Motivated by the recent development in quantum cosmology, we revisit the
anisotropic Kantowski-Sachs model in the light of a Lorentzian path integral
formalism. Studies so far have considered the Euclidean method where the choice
of the lapse integration contour is constrained by certain physical
considerations rather than mathematical justification. In this paper, we have
studied the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal along with the use of
Picard-Lefschetz theory in performing the lapse integration. In an isotropic
limit, we show our results agree with the studies made in FLRW cosmology. We
also observe that in the large scale structure the no-boundary proposal tends
towards a conical singularity at the beginning of time. We have also performed
a massless scalar perturbation analysis with no back reaction. This reveals
that if there were any perturbation present at the beginning of the universe
then that would flare up at the final boundary.
