langar

Langar is the term used in the Sikh religion for free food that is served in their Gurdwara. The food is taken by everyone sitting as equals. The practice was introduced by Guru Nanak Dev Ji to break the caste system that persisted in India during the 13th and 14th centuries. This practice is one of the Pillars of Sikhism, and it is a mission of Sikhism to eradicate hunger from the face of the planet. The Sikhs are encouraged to donate ten percent (daswandh) of their wealth, time, or resources to a worthy cause, of which Langar Sewa is one. At Langar, only vegetarian food is served. This is done to ensure that all people, with whatever dietary restrictions (e.g., by Islamic, Jewish, or Jain laws) will feel welcome to eat as equals.
