Summary
| Description | So this is the interior of the famous 'langar' in the Harmandir Sahib/ Golden Temple complex, which offers free meals for one and all, irrespective of caste, faith or religion. 'Langar' (which roughly translates to kitchen) is the term used in Sikhism for the community kitchen in a Gurdwara where a free meal is served to all the visitors, without distinction of religion, caste, gender, economic status or ethnicity. The free meal is always vegetarian.People sit on the floor, eat together, and the kitchen is maintained and serviced by Sikh community volunteers. At the langar, all people eat as equals. The exception to vegetarian langar is when Nihang Sikhs serve meat in some Gurdwaras, on the occasion of Holla Mohalla, (a Sikh festival) and call it Mahaprasad. Portions in the langar are unlimited and volunteers come around continuously offering you more roti (Indian unleavened bread), dhal (boiled and spiced lentils), kheer (warm rice pudding) or drinking water.
