Seers associated with the Akhand Parshuram Akhada have launched a campaign in Haridwar, calling on food vendors and stall owners to stop using the term ‘Veg Biryani’ on signboards and menus and replace it with ‘Veg Pulao’, reports ANI.
The initiative is aimed at preserving the sanctity of the pilgrimage city, with Akhada members arguing that the word ‘Biryani’ is traditionally linked to non-vegetarian cuisine and should not be used in a city regarded as a major religious destination.
