Kashmir Wazas Set 10 pm Deadline for Serving Wedding Wazwan

Kashmir’s wedding chefs, known as wazas, plan to stop serving the traditional multi-course wazwan after <b>10 pm</b> from the next marriage season, which begins in May. The All Kashmir Waza Association announced the proposed rule as a response to increasingly late wedding feasts and delayed arrivals by grooms. Association president Ghulam Nabi Baba said lunch wazwan would be served at 2 pm and dinner around 10 pm. He said the decision was made at a meeting in Srinagar’s old city on Wednesday, and members who break the association’s rules would be removed. The deadline has sparked debate on social media in Kashmir.
