Kerala Tourism has reached out to Apple's chief executive officer, John Ternus, requesting the addition of a dedicated emoji for Sadya, the state's traditional vegetarian feast. The appeal, made via social media, aligns with efforts to promote the multi-dish meal as an international brand. While Apple has not yet responded, the proposal has gained significant traction and support online. Tourism experts suggest that Sadya, which features nearly 30 dishes served on a banana leaf, could elevate Kerala's global profile in the same way signature dishes represent other cultures. However, health experts note that the high-calorie feast could be made healthier by reducing rice portions and increasing protein-rich lentil curries.
