India, which is famous for its cultural diversity and welcoming nature, has another much exclusive element that people are not much aware of. Largest free feasts are prepared for thousands of people daily, and it is not a simple task, but it happens in India.

These Super Indian Kitchens across the country are performing a commendable job, and has apparently been put into spotlight by the TV series on National Geographic Channel called ‘India’s Megakitchens Season 2’.

Imagine preparing a meal for 10 people everyday, and consider the task of having to buy the required ingredients needed for the food, suddenly this feat of feeding thousands will mean a lot more to you.

It is more than just a task for them, they buy various food items like vegetables, cooking oil etc… in massive quantities, and it is this daily calculation that drives these mega kitchens across India, and is also the basis of the second season of the series, which focuses on the scale, volume, technology, process and efforts of the people involved in preparing meals for thousands at once.

The second season of ‘India’s Megakitchens’ talk about, what happens inside these kitchens and two episode of the show has already been broadcasted, it went on air on August 15.

This trending TV series will make you appreciate the patience, the dedication, and the real meaning of humanity that goes with it.

The episodes of the second season are based on the concept of seva, or public service. Serving to more than thousand’s everyday, one of the popular kitchen that comes to one’s mind is Anandpur Sahib, in Punjab, which was covered in the first two episodes of the show, and draws attention to all the hard work the people, who cook there, put in.

The process will impress you, with thousands of kilograms of lentils boiling in large cauldrons, men with enviable upper body strengths mixing vegetables in large vessels, and boxes and boxes of golden and scarlet spices, it’s a visual treat. In Anandpur Sahib, as in Vrindavan, religious establishments feed anyone and everyone who enter their place of worship.

The first episode spoke of the most popular festival in Punjab called ‘Hola Mohalla’, which begins the day after Holi, and lakhs of followers flock to Anandpur Sahib, to pay their obeisance at the Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib gurudwara, one of the five temporal authorities of Sikhism.

The dedication of the thousands of volunteers that these establishments have will be talked in more detail in the coming episodes, and one should watch it to know more about other Indian super kitchens, and the extent of Indian culture and belongingness.
