The kitchen at the Golden Temple feeds up to 100,000 people a day for free. And, these men would like to cook your lunch »
The Sikh religion is a reform movement that began in India around the 1480’s. As one of its central tenets, Sikhism holds that all people, regardless of gender, religious background, race, or caste are equal. As a way to symbolize and practice this, the founder of the Sikh religion, Guru Nanek Dev, founded the langar, or community kitchen. Food was to be for all, the rich would eat with the poor, and it would run, by the grace of God, on donations and volunteer labor.
Here’re some must known facts about the community kitchen at the Golden Temple:
- Everyone, regardless of faith, race and background is allowed in the dining hall
- Women, men and children all sit together
- Before entering you must remove your shoes and wear a head scrap
- A traditional meal of lentils, rice, vegetables and roti is served
- Everyone must sit on the floor as equals, so all people are on the same level and nobody is above anyone else
- There are two halls that can serve about 5,000 diners at a time
