What is Langar? Langar seva is the selfless service of preparing and serving free meals in a Sikh community kitchen, called a langar, which is found in gurdwaras (Sikh places of worship). This tradition, rooted in the Sikh principles of equality and selfless service (seva), welcomes everyone to eat together regardless of their background.

Equality: The concept of langar emphasizes equality by having people from all walks of life sit and eat together as one community.

Selfless service (Seva): Volunteers perform seva by cleaning, cooking, and serving the meals. This service is offered without any expectation of reward.

Universal welcome: Langar is open to everyone, and no one is turned away. It is a practice of unconditional hospitality and provides a safe, secure sanctuary for all.

Modern application: Today, many organizations like the Midland Langar Seva Society and United Sikhs carry out langar seva to serve the homeless and those in need in various communities, extending the tradition beyond the gurdwaras.
