..or breakfast, or dinner.
Every day, the world’s largest community kitchen operates, around the clock.
In any given 24 hours the Golden Temple serves 50,000 to 100,000 hot meals; all, freshly prepared by volunteers.
As future, multi-image posts will eventually illustrate, the achievement of this feat beggars even an eyewitness’s belief.
Even if someone had zero general interest in visiting temples, it is hard to imagine how he or she could fail to be astonished – and moved – by a visit to the Golden Temple’s “langar”.
Just one of many striking statistics: on a normal day the langar’s breadmakers use 5,000 kilos of wheat. 5 metric tons amount to more than 6 “imperial” tons.
