People from all over the world especially " Sikhs" visit Golden temple at least once in their life time.

/Showkat Shafi

Everybody is welcome at the langar, no one is turned away. It works on the principle of equality between people of the world regardless of religion, caste, colour, creed, age, gender or social status.

People sit on the floor together as equals and eat the same simple food at the eating hall of the Golden Temple langar.

Langar teaches the etiquette of sitting and eating in a community situation.

People from any community and faith can serve as volunteers.

The lines of status, caste and class vanish at the langar. Everybody is treated as equals.
