Dinner offers chhole-puri, matar paneer, pulao, dal, and rotis, with dessert options like kheer, halwa, fruit custard, and gulab jamun. Devotees receive hot kesar doodh (saffron milk) in traditional clay cups to replenish their energy after their journey. Some camps have embraced plastic-free initiatives, using stainless steel utensils instead of plastic or thermocol plates.
Organizers emphasize that strict adherence to food quality, hygiene, and safety standards, as per the UP government's guidelines, is their priority.
