Langar (Sikhism)
Langar ((パンジャーブ語:ਲੰਗਰ), (ヒンディー語:लंगर)) is the term used in the Sikh religion for common kitchen/canteen where food is served in a Gurdwara to all the visitors (without distinction of background) for free. At the langar, only vegetarian food is served, to ensure that all people, regardless of their dietary restrictions, can eat as equals. At the Langar (Kitchen), food is served to all visitors regardless of faith, religion or background. The exception to vegetarian langar is when Nihangs (in India) serve meat〔http://www.singhsabha.com/holla_mohalla.htm〕 on the occasion of Holla Mohalla,〔(UNITED SIKHS )〕 and call it Mahaprasad.〔"The most special occasion of the Chhauni is the festival of Diwali which is celebrated for ten days. This is the only Sikh shrine at Amritsar where Maha Prasad (meat) is served on special occasions in Langar." ''The Sikh review'', Volume 35, Issue 409 - Volume 36, Issue 420, Sikh Cultural Centre, 1988.〕 There are also variations on langar, for example at Hazur Sahib,〔(The Myth of goat Sacrifice and Hazur Sahib )〕〔(Jhatka at Hazur Sahib Sikh Gurudwara )〕 where meat is included. ''Langar'' is also a common term used across various units in the Indian Army, when referring to a mess, especially when there is no building and the food is served in open air (or through temporary arrangements like tents).
==History==
The institution of the Sikh langar, or free kitchen, was started by the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. It was designed to uphold the principle of equality between all people regardless of religion, caste, colour, creed, age, gender or social status, a revolutionary concept in the caste-ordered society of 16th-century India where Sikhism began. In addition to the ideals of equality, the tradition of langar expresses the ethics of sharing, community, inclusiveness and oneness of all humankind. "...the Light of God is in all hearts."〔Guru Granth Sahib pg. 282〕
After the Second Sikh Guru, the institution of langar seems to have changed, somewhat, and meat seems to have been excluded from this institution. There is no evidence of meat ever being served in langar.
