Well, chickens can rest easy. Amid, fast food chains rapidly opening up in Ayodhya, officials have even welcomed KFC. But, there is a catch. No food chains are allowed to sell any meat or liquor. Imagine a KFC without meat!

As per mandates, Ayodhya strictly prohibits serving meat and liquor within the Panch Kosi Marg. The Panch Kosi Parikrama is a 15-km pilgrimage circuit around Ayodhya, visiting sacred sites linked to the Ramayana.

Ayodhya is one such place where the chickens don’t cross the road, they munch on greens instead!

Currently, fast food chains like Dominos and Pizza Hut have opened up outlets in Ayodhya, selling only vegetarian food items.
