Amulti-course traditional mutton feast, Wazwan is a symbol of hospitality, culture, and Kashmir’s deep-rooted connections with Central Asia. The feast is traditionally prepared for weddings, festivals, and other grand occasions. The word wazwan is derived from two Persian terms — waza, meaning “cook,” and wan, meaning “shop” or “place.”
The wazas, or master chefs, have inherited their exceptional culinary skills through generations. They are in high demand during the wedding season, which begins in spring and continues until late autumn in Kashmir.
