Lunch features dishes such as shahi paneer, kadhai paneer, paneer lababdar, dal makhani, mixed vegetables, chur-chur naan, butter naan, jeera rice, and rotis. Evening snacks consist of spring rolls, chilli paneer, manchurian, pasta in white and red sauces, vegetable pizza, momos, macaroni, soup, and burgers. 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.",
