At the heart of Amritsar's Golden Temple in Amritsar (India) lies the Langar – the world’s largest free community kitchen organised by the Sikh community.
Here, everyone is welcome, regardless of background, to sit together and share a vegetarian meal.
Run almost entirely by volunteers as an act of Sewa (selfless service), the kitchen operates 24/7.
Each day, 50,000 to 100,000 people are served freshly cooked lentils, rotis, and rice pudding.
Food preparation is a mix of tradition and scale.
Volunteers chop, cook, serve, and clean with smiles, devotion, and unwavering hospitality.
The Langar embodies Sikhism’s values of equality, humility, and community in every meal shared.
