Synopsis

Indulge in a soul-nourishing langgar experience, where every bite is a taste of tradition, and every meal a celebration of unity and compassion.

 

Langgar is a communal kitchen, typically at a gurdwara (place of worship) where free meals are served to all visitors regardless of their background. This practice, which began in the 13th century, is rooted in Sikh teachings of equality and selfless service, and symbolises the importance of sharing and caring for one another. Food served during langgar is usually vegetarian, usually consisting of lentil soups, dal and chapati.

 

After immersing yourself in the soulful hymns at the performance at the concourse, we warmly welcome you to join us for the langgar experience happening right after.

 

Embark on this immersive journey and explore the rich tapestry of tradition, community, and culinary delights that encapsulate the essence of visiting a gurdwara. As a symbol of hospitality and communal spirit, the food served during langgar is absolutely free for everyone to enjoy!
