“Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature”; World Vegetarian Day 2020…

World Vegetarian Day was founded in 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society and was endorsed by the International Vegetarian Union in 1978. October 1st is the annual celebration of Vegetarian Awareness Month.

October is the month for Vegetarians! As more and more people are making the move to healthier and eco-friendly living, vegetarianism is getting back in vogue. In fact, most of our favourite celebrities around the globe are gradually giving up on meat to opt for a balanced lifestyle. Hence, this day is observed annually to promote the joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism.

Here’re 6 Most Popular Indian Veg Dishes:
