The Langar of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib

Every gurdwara has a Langar, or kitchen, that prepares food which is given freely to anyone, no matter the gender, colour, race, religion, creed, caste, age, or social status, and in doing so, establishing equality.

Anyone can volunteer, any one can be a part of this system, anyone can be a part of the community.
