New Delhi: The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) announced that the food that will be served in Bihar’s Bhagalpur will be vegetarian during the month of Sawan starting July 4.
Pankaj Kumar, the manager of the food services stall, informed me about the decision of a media agency that they will serve vegetarian food without onion and garlic to the passengers, and along with this, fruits will also be offered. In addition, the cleanliness will be taken care of too.
Sawan, also known as Shravan, is the fifth month of the Hindu lunar calendar and one of the holiest months of the year. Millions of Hindus over the world observe it with spiritual devotion, fasting, and rejoicing. It usually occurs in July and August, near the start of the monsoon season. This year, it will begin on July 4 and run until August 31. It will be 59 days long, with eight Sawan Mondays or Somwars instead of the customary four per year, a 19-year phenomenon. The first fasting Monday of the year occurs on July 10, and the last is on August 28.
