Food is an integral part of every celebration, festival and milestone. But sometimes, food warrants a celebration of its own! One of the most delicious street foods of India, vada pav is loved by millions across the country and especially in Mumbai. A deep-fried aloo bonda or vada is sandwiched between buttered pav buns and sprinkled with special masala, green chutney, and green chilli!

The hashtag #WorldVadaPavDay thus found itself among the top trends on Indian Twitter. Take a look:
