Kashmir's 600-Year-Old Wazwan Tradition Continues Amid Generational Changes
Wazwan, a 600-year-old multi-course mutton feast originating from Central Asia, remains a key tradition in Kashmir's wedding celebrations. Traditional chefs like Ghulam Nabi Baba, who has cooked for nearly six decades, continue to prepare around 20 dishes using time-honored methods. However, younger generations are shifting away from wedding catering to restaurant work due to the demanding hours, signaling a gradual change in how this culinary heritage is preserved.
