NUS Sikh Society Langar Day

Story
Langar - a free communal kitchen. Langar provides for everyone in need of food, regardless of their class, social standing, religion or gender. This event would provide the opportunity to serve anyone by distributing vegetarian food and educating them briefly about the importance of Langar in Sikhism. This would give students and staff the chance to experience and try Punjabi food. The food will be prepared in a Sikh temple (Gurdwara) and delivered to NUS for students/staff to enjoy. Langar will be provided by Silat Road Sikh Gurdwara, under the Central Sikh Gurdwara Board. Information boards regarding the practice of Langar and the basics of Sikhism will also be placed at the booth, to allow people deeper understanding behind the rationale of this event.
