The Story in Brief
Kanwar Yatra camps across Uttar Pradesh are serving a mix of traditional and contemporary dishes, from shahi paneer to pizza and momos, all prepared without onion or garlic to observe religious dietary restrictions. The Modipuram camp has deployed an automatic roti-making machine that kneads 20 kg of dough at once, producing up to 7,000 rotis daily. Organisers have also made camps plastic-free, using stainless steel utensils instead. The Uttar Pradesh government said it is continuously inspecting private camps for food quality and hygiene standards. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is scheduled to conduct an aerial survey of the route on Wednesday and will shower flower petals on pilgrims from a platform near the Dulhera police outpost.
The Indian Opinion
Many see the fusion of pizzas and pastas with traditional prasad rules as a sign of modernisation, but let’s not lose sight. The real story here is the massive logistical effort, 20-kg dough machines and 7,000 rotis daily at a single camp. The debate over 'what is authentic' misses the point when lakhs of pilgrims need safe, hygienic food. The test will be whether this organisation holds over the full month, not just the first week.
