                Langar Hall of Golden Temple
Golden Temple is the holiest worship place of  sikhism.World's largest kitchen is located in parikarma of Golden Temple.Approximate one lakh devotees eat meal[langar] everyday.  Langar is available  for all 24 hours in 365 days.First Guru of sikhism Guru Nanak Dev Ji started the tradition of langar. Sitting together and having meal with each other is symbol of equality of humanity.
                                       
         A large number of provision's quantity is used for cooking.20 quintals lentil,12 quintals desi ghee,100 quintals flour and 20 quintals rice are used everyday.60 kg tea, 10 quintals sugar and 10 quintals milk are used for making tea.70 to 80 cylinders are used everyday for cooking. The speciality of langar is that its food is pure vegetarian and its simple and healthy food.Dal chapati along with dry vegetable is simply delicious  food and kheer is also made for desert.
                              Its very hard to serve approximate one lakh people in a day.In special occasions,Gurpurab or holidays the numbers of devotees come to double.So there are 300 volunteers are there to do such a hard work.They are called Sewadar.Not only volunteers sangat also do sewa like chopping vegetables,washing utensils and much more.Devotees do unconditional sewa.Hygene is also considered as well.Utensils are washed four times at a time.
                There are two chapati making machines in basement of langar hall.It kneads flour makes rolls and prepares lakhs of chapatis in a day. Small machine makes 5000 chapatis and bigger machine makes 10000 chapatis in one hour. Devotees and sewadar also do sewa to maintain everything.They apply ghee on all chapatis.chapatis are sent to langar hall to serve. Here the most sacred and blessed place of sikhism gives the internal satisfaction and peace of mind.People who come and do sewa in Harmandir Sahib forget differences of castes and religions .They just do unconditional serving with feel of equality.

  1. The best time to visit the Golden Temple is in the winter months (October to March) when the weather is pleasant and it even gets cold here.
