Himachali Dham Vegetarian is a traditional Pahadi feast inspired by ceremonial meals served during weddings, religious occasions, family functions and community gatherings in Himachal Pradesh. In Hindi, it may be written as हिमाचली धाम or कांगड़ी धाम when referring to the Kangra-style version. The meal is normally rice-led and served in a sequence rather than as a random mixed thali. A typical vegetarian Dham can include steamed rice, moong dal, rajma madra or chana madra, palda, khatta, maa ki daal or mah dal, sepu vadi and meetha bhatt. Madra is usually a rich yogurt or curd-based preparation of legumes such as rajma or chana. Khatta gives the meal its sour-sweet balance. Meetha bhatt or mittha brings the sweet ending. The ceremonial meal is associated with trained cooks known as botis, who prepare the dishes in a traditional order and style. For TiffinWorld, the page should define Himachali Dham Vegetarian as a vegetarian tiffin supplier category, not a restaurant dish page. It can include dairy, curd, ghee, butter and milk sweets where the supplier offers traditional preparations, but it must exclude meat, fish, egg, chicken, mutton and animal stock. Customers who need dairy-free meals should use the separate Himachali Dham Vegan category.
