Guru Ram Das Langar
ਗੁਰੂ ਰਾਮਦਾਸ ਲੰਗਰ
One of the world's largest free kitchens. Volunteers serve lentil soup and flatbread to tens of thousands of people every day, and everyone eats side by side on the floor, regardless of religion or status.
Langar is the Sikh tradition of a free communal kitchen, symbolizing equality among all people. The Golden Temple's kitchen serves about 50,000 people a day, and up to 100,000 on festival days. Nearly all the work, including kneading dough, baking flatbread and washing dishes, is done by volunteers. After entering, you collect a tray and sit on long carpets on the floor. Servers add lentil soup, vegetable curry, flatbread and rice pudding, and when you finish, you take your plate to the collection point yourself. Visitors can also sign up to help in the kitchen. It is located on the east side of the Golden Temple. The coordinates are approximate.
