While visiting several of the Sikh temples in India, including their holiest place, the Golden Temple in Amritsar, I could not help but be impressed by the wonderful charitable work people of this faith engage in. Each Sikh temple has a kitchen, or langar, that offers 2 free meals a day to anyone wanting or needing them. There are between 30,000 and 150,000 meals given out each day at the temples I visited, all of it healthy vegetarian food prepared by volunteers. It’s a place you’ll see beggars and millionaires sitting together and sharing a meal. And where you see people of all walks of like working together to feed their community.
While visiting the langar in Amritsar, I came across these women making bread for the noon-day meal. They were working in a fairly dark room but were wonderfully lite by day light. Kindly, they let me take these photos.
