The Shatrunjaya Hills in Palitana are located 164 ft above sea level and house more than 800 temples, believed to have been built over 900 years ago.
India, the world's most populated country, is home to a wide range of cuisines that differ from region to region, depending on local culture. While both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items make for a wholesome experience, a whopping 38% of the total Indian population identifies itself as vegetarians, according to a World Atlas report.
But what may surprise many is that there exists a city in Gujarat where only vegetarian food is allowed. The sale, purchase and consumption of non-vegetarian food is completely prohibited. Yes, we are talking about Palitana town in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat.
