@Basil, I suggest you do a PhD on this.
North India, more so Delhi, has different types of vegetarians:
1. Tuesday / Saturday vegetarians.
2. No onion - garlic veggies on any day (or night).
3. Onion - garlic on days except on Tuesdays and/or Saturdays.
4. Eggitarians ... Two types: (a) No eggs at home but outside; (b) Eggs at home (wife and daughters may or may not, sometimes their own choice ... but often 'benign patriarchy'.)
5. Drinkatarians ... Obviously, patriarchy rules the roost. But there's the simple equation of squaring the circle (always remembering the Tuesdays and Saturdays conundrum)....
Who eats / doesn't eat onion - garlic, or egg, or that typically Indian word 'non veg' -- which again has many types:
(1) May eat mutton and fish but not chicken,
(2) Chicken and fish but not mutton,
(3) Fish (only with big 'kanta' and that too fried or roasted), but no mutton and chicken,
(4) Pork and buffalo meat eaters too have their set of eat / no eat set of combos.

Warning:
It's not as if it's 1 window fits all.
Different strokes for and different for Lucknow- Kanpur UPwala or a Purabiya of Benaras / Gorakhpur).
It becomes more complex when it comes to the Jains -- even within the two sects, Shwetambars and Digambars .... @Mango touched on this briefly.

Forehead throbbing by now!!!

No worries, it becomes all the more interesting... just ask @Mango about North and South Indian veg vs non veg -- when it comes to what works and doesn't work👹

You forgot the strictest vegetarians who will eat only food cooked by other strict vegetarians 😂

[justarandomperson]

Technically 🤭
Vegetarian: Might eat egg formally known as eggitarians
Pure vegetarian : Those who don't eat egg at all
Jains: Don't eat onion and garlic
Strict Jain: Whatever he said
Atleast this was the colloquial nomenclature where I grew up
(No hate to any religion... Just stating how people classified diff types of vegetarians😂😂)

[IELTSPrepPRO-OfficialChannel]

This concept of Pure Veg restaurant is only applicable for West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar!
In other states Pure Vegetarian restaurant including onions and garlic in their food
