does in south people never take non veg??

Wow Jay that is an awesome feast so elaborate. Jhum on auspicious occasions no non veg in South Indian feast.

How can a goat or a hen be touched with a knife Jhum, they are also children of the Mahakal and Mahakali.
and In south for festival and auspicious occasions no nonveg, in fact even onions and garlic is not used in some homes.
the food is being prepared in the temple premises. No blood flows inside a south indian temple.
