Fasting, known as Vrat or Vratam, is fundamental to the Hindu religion.

Although meat consumption is allowed in nonvegetarians, meat products such as those derived from pork, fowl, duck, snails, crabs, and camels are not preferred, as animals are considered part of the chain of life and should be treated with compassion. Because cows are considered sacred animals, beef intake is prohibited; however, the consumption of dairy products derived from cow, such as milk, yogurt, and butter, is allowed as they are considered to be pure and to contribute to the purity of body, spirit, and mind.
