The Story in Brief
Kanwar Yatra camps in Uttar Pradesh are offering a diverse menu without onion or garlic, including pizza, pasta, momos, shahi paneer, and pulao. Camps have installed automatic roti-makers that produce 900 rotis per hour and machines to chop vegetables in bulk. Many camps are plastic-free, using steel utensils instead of plastic or thermocol. The UP government is inspecting camps for food quality and hygiene. The yatra began July 30 and ends August 11. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will shower flower petals on pilgrims in Meerut.
The Indian Opinion
Media coverage of the Kanwar Yatra often swings between two extremes: either portraying it as a rustic tradition or mocking its modern menu as inauthentic. The truth is simpler, pilgrims want both tradition and convenience. The real test is not the menu but waste management and water conservation along the route. Will the camps' plastic-free pledge hold up under lakhs of visitors? That number will tell.
