(Punjabi) In Sikhism: A communal kitchen in or adjacent to a gurdwara; also the meal served in a gurdwara. (As a rejection of institutionalized caste separation in Hindu society,) anyone may eat with Sikhs. Both the kitchen and the meal are open to all. In an attempt to offend no one, the food is always vegetarian, usually lentil soup, vegetables, rice and chappatis.“ Pehle pangat, piche sangat” – first eat together, then worship together (attributed to Guru Amar Das)
the name for both the kitchen that is found in every gurdwara and the meals that a community shares there. The food in the langar is provided from the money that every Sikh gives to the gurdwara. Meals are vegetarian and served freely to anyone who visits the gurdwara – whether they are a Sikh or non-Sikh, king or leper. They are usually eaten in groups, sitting on the floor; the idea is that no one is above anyone else, and that everyone has a right to share a meal in good company.
'Guru's kitchen' - the gurdwara dining hall and the food served in it

Free community kitchen. The devotional meal eaten by the congregation, as part of the religious service. Langar is free and open to all, regardless of religious background. It is an illustration of putting into practice the Sikh belief in the equality of all humanity, and the rejection of the Hindu caste system, which forbade people of different castes from eating together.
