What is the focus of the Vegetarian Hindu Meal (AVML) for passengers?

The focus of the Vegetarian Hindu Meal (AVML) is on vegetarian foods that adhere to Hindu dietary laws. This cuisine is designed to meet the specific requirements of Hindu passengers who follow a vegetarian diet that avoids not only meat but also certain other animal products, adhering to the principles of ahimsa, or non-violence, which is a core tenet of Hindu philosophy. AVML typically includes ingredients such as lentils, vegetables, grains, and dairy items, ensuring that all food items align with these dietary restrictions.

The integrity of the meal is vital for those observing these dietary customs, as it supports their cultural and religious practices during travel. This ensures that the meal is not only appropriate from a dietary perspective but also resonates with the spiritual and ethical values of the Hindu community.
