BAPS Shayona is a service provided by the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha to promote vegetarianism generally as well as the devotional Hindu diet amongst practitioners of the faith. Shayona prepares, sanctifies and offers food to thousands of devotees visiting BAPS temples around the world during weekly services and special festivals. Additionally, Shayona volunteers prepare ritually pure and devotionally offered food for special religious events and for purchase at BAPS temples around the world, filling an unfortunate gap for those practitioners who are unable to meet the dietary requirements of their faith alone.
