Synopsis

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

 

Langgar, a communal kitchen, typically found in a gurdwara (place of worship), serves free meals to all visitors, regardless of background. This practice, which began in the 13th century, is rooted in Sikh teachings of equality and selfless service, symbolising the importance of sharing and caring for one another. The food served during langgar is usually vegetarian, featuring dishes such as lentil soups, dal and chapati.

 

After immersing yourself in the soulful hymns at The Sacred Art of Sikh Music 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 embody the essence of visiting a gurdwara. As a symbol of hospitality and communal spirit, the food served during langgar is entirely free for everyone to enjoy!
