A viral video offers a rare look at day-to-day food preparation inside a Buddhist monastery in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, showing monks working together in a kitchen and preparing meals that include rotis and other dishes. The footage depicts coordinated cooking tasks, from chopping vegetables to cooking and serving food.
Both outlets describe a communal routine where monks prepare food as part of their daily practice, including making items such as rotis and cooking dishes like fried rice. Times of India also mentions an early morning timeline—rising around 1 a.m.—and highlights additional variety in the meal, including biryani, alongside the simpler staples.
NDTV focuses more on the range of cooking activities shown in the video, while Times of India emphasizes the specific setting in Spiti and the broader menu options displayed during the early kitchen routine. Neither report provides independent verification beyond what is visible in the video.
