Idols of a Hindu god and a Hindu goddess carved out of vegetables at a marriage reception feast in Baleswar town on Sunday night have sparked huge resentment among locals. The picture of this food art is doing the rounds on social media.
The idols of Lord Jagannath and Maa Tarini were kept at the dining space of the marriage venue at Hotel Suraj in Sahadevkhunta.
The idols were on display while non-vegetarian food was being served at the party. This has drawn severe criticism from guests and social media users.
An invitee posted a picture of this on social media platform where the users expressed their discontentment.
“Food art is a form of art and it should not be used to demean our gods and goddesses. We should respect our culture and tradition. Appropriate steps should be taken so that it is not repeated again,” an invitee expressed.s
