Kashmir Waza chefs enforce 10pm deadline for wedding feasts after years of late-night criticism
· India · Indian Express, The Hindu
The Kashmir Waza Chefs Association, led by President Ghulam Nabi Baba, has decided to stop serving lunch and dinner after 10 pm at wedding feasts in Srinagar. The decision, taken at a Tuesday meeting in Srinagar, aims to end the long-standing practice of serving elaborate multi-course meals well past midnight. The chefs warned they would refuse to serve any meal beyond the stipulated time, citing fatigue and guest complaints. For years, wedding feasts have continued late into the night despite public criticism, with baraatis traditionally dining after the groom's reception.
Why it matters
The new 10pm cap directly affects families hosting and guests attending Kashmiri weddings, forcing schedule changes for the traditional Wazwan multi-course meal and potentially reducing the social duration of celebrations.
