The delegates, who are coming from 19 different countries, will relish several lavish facilities and arrangements. In the list below, we have mentioned them. 

1. The guests will be served all-vegetarian cuisines at the official dinner.

Being the first South Asian nation to hold this summit, India will showcase the variety of cuisines it has to offer at the official dinner. Apart from millet thaali and street food like golgappas, dahi bhalla, samosa, bhelpuri, vada pav and chaat, there will also be some famous dishes from different states, like Rajasthan’s dal-bati-churma, Punjab’s tadka daal, Bihar’s litti-chokha, Bengal’s rasgulla and South India’s masala dosa, idli and uttapam.

2. The guests will be served in silverware and gold utensils.

Now that the menu is all set, here’s what these guests will eat in – silver and gold utensils. Yes, that’s right. These all-vegetarian dishes will be served in super-expensive silverware with intricately engraved motifs to showcase our cultural heritage. Reportedly, about 200 artisans, from all over the nation, have made over 15,000 pieces of silverware in 50,000 man-hours for this event.
