Prasad & Plates: Creating an Affordable Cafe in Rishikesh

Campaign Story

Rishikesh is a place of spiritual journeys, breathtaking views, and vibrant community. Every year, thousands of backpackers, pilgrims, yoga students, and locals walk these streets. But as the town grows, finding a wholesome, hygienic, and genuinely affordable meal is becoming harder.

We want to change that. Our mission is simple: To open a warm, inclusive cafe that serves delicious, high-quality food at prices everyone can afford.

This won't just be a place to eat; it will be a community hub. A space where a traveling student, a local resident, and a weary pilgrim can sit at the same table, share a meal, and feel at home.
We want our backers to be a permanent part of our story. Depending on your contribution, we’re offering:

The Chai Wall: Your name beautifully painted on our café’s "Founders Wall."

Prepaid Meals: If you visit Rishikesh, your first few meals (or a whole week of coffee!) are on us.

Pay It Forward: A contribution tier where your donation buys a free meal for someone in need or a wandering sadhu.

Every rupee, dollar, or euro brings us closer to lighting up the kitchen stoves. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your travel-loving friends means the world to us!

Let’s build a kitchen with a heart. Namaste.
