Mumbai has launched Street Food Meditation, a program encouraging mindful consumption of local snacks like vada pav and pav bhaji. According to The Times of India, trained guides lead participants through breathing exercises, deliberate tasting, and reflection on flavors.

Tourists and locals report enhanced taste appreciation, reduced overeating, and a calmer urban experience. Critics question practicality during rush hours, but organizers highlight cultural connection, gastronomic awareness, and stress reduction. Future expansions include dessert-focused sessions and mobile meditation carts for city streets.
