India being the most diverse culture country in the world have some of the most amazing facts on its own , sometimes I get amazed by the volume simple tasks are done to help & feed people with whole heartedly .
Golden Temple one of the most famous temple of India makes about 200,000 Chappatis , 1.5 Tonnes of Dal (Lentil Soup ) & Free food served to 100,000 people everyday are what makes the free kitchen run at the Temple in West of Amritsar stand apart from the rest.
By all measures, the kitchen (called langar in Punjabi) is one of the largest free kitchens to be run anywhere in the world.
Eating in the dining room can be anyone, regardless of his religion. Women, men and children – all sitting here together. Before you go inside, you must remove your shoes and cover your head (traditionally done with chunees, turbans, and bandanas (for those not with long hair).
Approximately 90% of the staff are volunteers , each of which can help as much as they are willing to. Volunteers can help with the preparation of food as well as the cleaning, as well as other necessary preparations.
Celebrities & Directors are seen here very often , David Cameron prepares chapatti for a communal vegetarian meal at a langar during his visit to the Golden Temple
At the end of eating, comes into play, another group of volunteers. Each dish is carefully washed off and made ready for the next group of visitors.
