This festival is titled the Queen Jodha Bai Festival because Jodha Bai, Akbar’s first wife was a pure vegetarian Rajput and her kitchen was known for the vegetarian delicacies. It also influenced Akbar to turn vegetarian. Queen Jodha Bai’s vegetarian delicacies boast of traditional Indian flavours and Emperor Akbar would have food from Queen Jodha Bai’s kitchen on Thursdays.
