In a historic move, Palitana, a city in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district, has become the world’s first to officially ban non-vegetarian food. The ban prohibits the sale and consumption of meat and eggs, rooted in the Jain community’s principles of non-violence and compassion. This decision follows a protest by over 200 Jain monks, leading to a law that closed around 250 butcher shops. Since its enforcement, the city has witnessed a surge in vegetarian restaurants and tourism, promoting a unique, ethical culinary culture.
