Most suitable international cuisines or destinations for a vegetarian [closed]

Question

My partner and I are avid travellers and are always planning our next (shoe string budget) trip. I don't want my vegetarianism to hold back where we can go but if possible I'd like to choose destinations where the local cuisine is vegetarian-friendly. Experiencing the food and culture is an important part of travel for me.

We tend to travel a region, across several countries. It's also not practical to learn enough of the local language(s) to have detailed conversations about ingredients or order off-menu.

So which cuisines, cultures, and countries are the easiest to eat vegetarian in?

Disclosure: I'm Kiwi, so America, Australia, or Europe do count as travel for me but my main concerns are for non-English speaking countries and experiencing cultures we're less familiar with.

In a single meal they tend to serve more than 20 vegetarian items in 20 different bowls. It not only tastes delicious but looks mouth watering too.

Their culture is also vegetarian friendly. They normally worship cow as their mother. The main reason behind them being the vegetarian is their religion (Hinduism) and their love and respect for the animals.
