Langar (Sikhism)
Sikh community kitchen where a free meal is served to anyone without distinction / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Sufi practice, see Langar (Sufism).
In Sikhism, a langar (Punjabi: ਲੰਗਰ, pronunciation: [lʌŋɾ], 'kitchen'[1]) is the community kitchen of a gurdwara, which serves meals to all free of charge, regardless of religion, caste, gender, economic status, or ethnicity. People sit on the floor and eat together, and the kitchen is maintained and serviced by Sikh community volunteers who are doing seva ("selfless services").[2] The meals served at a langar are always lacto-vegetarian.[3]
