Ayodhya, India - In a move to preserve the cultural and religious significance of Ayodhya Dham, the Ayodhya Food Commissioner has announced a ban on non-vegetarian food in hotels and restaurants within the area. The ban, which includes online deliveries, aims to respect local sentiments and pilgrim preferences. The decision, welcomed by hoteliers and locals alike, is part of efforts to safeguard the holy spirit of Ayodhya Dham. The move is seen as a way to align with Ayodhya's cultural and religious significance, particularly in the wake of the grand Ram Temple's construction. The ban will be enforced by authorities, who will penalize platforms violating the rule. Hotel General Manager Shubham Srivastava praised the decision, saying it aligns with the values of their religion. 'Consumption of non-veg is prohibited in our holy scriptures; it is considered a sin in our religion,' he said. The news comes as Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta flagged off a group of Ram devotees for Ayodhya Dham on Thursday, describing the pilgrimage as a strong message of Sanatan faith, cultural unity, and spiritual consciousness. The journey aims to strengthen India's rich cultural consciousness and spiritual traditions. The Ayodhya Dham ban is seen as a significant step towards preserving the sanctity of the area and respecting local sentiments. As the grand Ram Temple continues to attract devotees, the ban is expected to reinforce the cultural and spiritual significance of Ayodhya Dham.
