Langar is a community meal served in Sikh temples, known as Gurdwaras. It is open to everyone, regardless of their background, religion, or social status. The meal typically consists of simple vegetarian dishes, symbolizing equality and unity among all people.
The practice of Langar was initiated by Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, to promote the values of sharing and community service. Volunteers, known as sevadars, prepare and serve the food, emphasizing the importance of selfless service in the Sikh faith. This tradition fosters a sense of belonging and togetherness among participants.
