- This is the largest free kitchen in the world. Open 24 hours, year round, this food hall feeds 100,000 people for free each day. And on religious holidays that number can double.
Just one of these huge bowls is enough to feed around 10,000 people.
We visited Amritsar in India to find out everything that goes into feeding such a large crowd, and to see just what it takes to make such Big Batches.

How The World's Largest Community Kitchen Feeds 100,000 Daily At Golden Temple, India | Big Batches
I lived in an area with a large Sikh community. Every year they would hold a huge religious festival and feed the surrounding community. Everything was free. They would even provide free transportation to the area where the festival was being held. I never saw anything like it. They seem like really good people. Very selfless.
@@ranjeetsharma4209 atheism is better. Come on dude don’t box people into better or worse. All the dude was saying is he finds the people are nice and was not comparing specifically to any other religions or groups
@@ranjeetsharma4209 only the one who serves is better than the the one who refuses to no one is above anyone
@@ranjeetsharma4209 lmao no.
@@ranjeetsharma4209 that's what ur taught that one is better then the other we are taught equality to all and I've never seen any of te biggest mandir or any mandir providing free food everyday
@@ranjeetsharma4209 one of the most ignorant comments. Am a Hindu and can appreciate the good gurudwaras are doing. Many Hindus pray at gurudwaras. Stop with superimism.
I used to work with two sikhs. Forgot my lunch one day and they basically lightly fought each other to see who was going to buy me lunch. Such nice people!
Wow
sounds about right! sounds like my relatives lol
I got scammed and basically robbed by my 2 Sikh business partners. It's almost as if you can't generalize people by their faith or heritage or at all... weird.
@@konstantinhochhaus3125 One of the first rules laid down by the first Guru of Sikhism was to earn an honest living. So the fact that the individuals u worked with did what they did means that they weren't upholding one of the basic values needed to be a Sikh. They may be calling themselves Sikhs but rests assured, their own god does not recognise them as such if they rob people of their money. Sorry to hear that though, it disheartens me when people like that tarnish the name of Sikhi for their own gain. We were made to be a force for good that protects the innocent, not exploit them.
@@Chepperz So Christians are just like sikhs then? See how ridiculous your claim is...
Something else to note: This is in the state of Punjab which is a Sikh majority state and while the Golden Temple feeds such a large number of people, it is isn’t the only one. You could walk into ANY gurdwara and you can expect food and shelter regardless of your race, creed, caste, gender or any other socioeconomic characteristics. Even in Western nations, if you ever find yourself hungry with no means to eat, just find the nearest Gurdwara and you’ll be fed.
This is what the rulebook of basically every religion says they should be, and yet so few are
Same has been happening in hindu temples since thousands of years. That is the whole purpose of temples in Hinduism. But hey they don't have a great PR machinery.
@@lantherpagdishush
I tell this to abused runaway kids all the time. If you're scared, hungry, cold, and hurting- find a Sikh temple. They'll help you without abusing you (I'm thinking of the Salvation Army in particular here) and I'm sure they exist, but I've never met a Sikh who wasn't a good person. I have much respect for the faith.
@@LotusDreamingl
In my entire life of going Gurdwara I have never heard the kitchen being empty or having run out of food unlike many restaurants do. It's honestly remarkable. Seva is powerful.
The food also seems to be of good quality for being free. I would definitely love to travel there and volunteer however I could, and of course eat there.
@@serronserron1320 hands down better than my mums or anyone else food I've tried. My mum makes the same things every other day like Dahl, keer, roti but Langar from there is amazing! Definitely give it a go and you volunteering (seva) means alot ❤

I was raised Christian and i donate to Sikh temples as often as i can. You will never meet more giving and loving people. I hope to visit the Golden temple one day
Sikhs are easily one of the most inherently pure group of people out there. Literally all you need to do to get in their good Grace's is not treat them like crap
@@MisterXenomorph The end of the last line of your comment I find very interesting. [I love your username, by the way]

Just asking. Not trying to start a fight.
I would HIGHLY recommend it. There's nothing like it in the world.

Everytime Sikh people are on my local news it's because they are doing a food drive or helping to rebuild something or volunteering for this or that. Never hear anything bad about Sikhs and I really respect them for that. I've only personally known 2 different Sikh families and both of them were all great people.

Had it been mosque serving free food mullah would start converting people to Islam in name of food 😂😂😂. Cheap thrills
They have scriptures that are very good too in terms of practice in day to day life. I went through them. Mostly about service to humankind, which I believe is THE only religion of all human beings.
Oh, yeah?! Maybe you haven't seen how they treat their portion of Dalits (untouchables). Lemme assure you, nothing beautiful about it! Not much 'helping humanity' over there, bubba!
This is what a functioning community looks like. No division amongst the people. Just unity.
Too bad, it's not a philosophy that is widely used here in the states. We still got a ways to go. These days it's just a struggle to tolerate one another without resorting to violence or death for years on end. It's always something or another going on in this country. That's for sure.
It's basically a religious service in and of itself. Think Mecca, but actually productive and useful to the community and not designed to geographically limit the religion.
@@NotAGoodUsername360 How does that make sense when islam is the largest growing religion. How has that limited the religion, if anything in Makkah different communities from different backgrounds all over the world meet and become better muslims.

No, it's not. Because the reason why they serve free food is that those people are suffering from poverty, and this is not a good thing.
Sikhs are a blessing to any country and community that has the privilege to be called they’re home .
I have always liked and admired Sikhs ,They have set up free food kitchen in the uk and probably all over the world, hardworking and noble people i hope they continue their good work.

I am an atheist American, but I have a prejudice IN FAVOR of Sikhs. Beautiful religion of followers who actually practice what they preach. Unlike the majority of American "christians"
I'm in Australia and all the Sikhs I've met have been very friendly, humble and hard working.
I am an atheist , but... how can one not respect the Sikh??
My uncle and his family were Sikh. We would join in their traditions when they visited a few times a year. They always made great food, the whole family loved it. I can still smell and taste the tea my aunt would make in a big pot on the stove. They called it yogi tea, it had cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and a bunch of other things. Really delicious. And she'd make this potato dish with lots of fresh ginger in it that was out of this world, couldn't get enough of it.
When we were younger, they'd wrap our heads in turbans just for fun. It was great in the winter, they really keep your head warm on a freezing cold central NY winter day. Super comfortable too!
I have a Sikh friend, he is also following this mindset. He wants to help all the time, no matter what the problem is.
I hope he feels better soon
This is what it looks like when a religion gets something correct.
cooperation gets more done than competition. But for it to work, you need people to unanimously follow this philosophy. Otherwise you get people who work their ass off, and parasites who use them.

A temple in the truest sense of the word. Serving mankind and any living organism should be the priority in any religion and the Golden Temple of Amritsar is perhaps the finest example. Really proud of my country and countrymen.
The sikh Community here in Dublin are the same, they give freely to everyone. Wonderful people.
Great 😊

I've had the absolute pleasure, of volunteering at the golden temple.

I have been lucky enough to visit and eat at the Golden Temple twice. The temple is so beautiful, so peaceful and the langar chai and food is so tasty! It was one of my favourite places in India...
The dishes are washed, in 5 different stages. So one stage cleans the plate, then the second stage washes it again and so on. So the dishes are very clean. Just thought I'd add this, so people understand the emphasis of cleanliness in Langar.
I can understand why my fellow "Westerners" might be concerned upon seeing barefoot volunteers serving diners seated on a floor, but...that's because feet and floors are dirty as hell over here!
@@fun_ghoul the concern is valid and understandable. However, in Indian temples (sikh, hindu or Muslim), everyone removes their shoes before entering and have to wash their hands and feet prior to entering the premises which is both hygienic and results in easier maintenance and cleanliness.
@@fun_ghoul Before entering the Golden Temple, you have to take off your shoes and socks, and after removing them, you have to wash your feet and hands before entering the Golden Temple Complex. The Floors are mopped after every wave of people that eat, and the carpets they sit on are vacuumed. Cleanliness is very important when it comes to Langar and Gurdwaras overall.
Thank you both so much for explaining. Only an idiot would think a temple would be dirty, but...this part of the world has a few idiots! Cheers.
@@fun_ghoul after every sitting of langar the floor is wiped clean with a wet mop... so the floor is never dirty
Not only in India, Sikh people put langars wherever they live and possible.

as kuran says about god,as bible says about god( yehova),same way sikh holy book sri guru granth sahib ji says about god only and if someone gets time to read it then one should surely download and read it,its about god only and second thing there is abundance of food in gods home and food never gets short here since hundreds of years. Earth is very big and thats why god reached on whole earth to help people in form of different religions,god cant love just particular people and not others. He created many religions to reach,cover whole earth,one religion was not enough to help whole earth. God reached whole earth every time,and whoever was good and wherever on earth he/she was,when remembered god he reached and helped him/her. God loves whole earth and reached to people of all nations,god doesnt love a single country only and is found in any single country only and in any single religion only.

I had a deeply emotional reaction to this. I have so much respect for Sikhs and their faith.
I've cooked for hundreds and near a thousand on some weeks and that left me exhausted, the sheer volume of people 100k I can comprehend and it's frankly terrifying, massive respect to people batch cooking like this.
Shame we don't have things like this in the west, whole communities coming together to eat, socialise and work sounds beautiful even to an introvert like me.
Sikh communities in the West also have langar meals. Other community groups are also starting to run similar projects. Where I work (a Baptist chapel in the UK), food and labour is mostly donated. People can have a hearty meal for free. If they can afford to make a donation then that's great, but nobody gets turned away for being broke.
These people are starving or poor. There's a reason you don't see that in the west. There's a functioning economy and we don't have a caste system that makes certain people untouchable. Anyone can work and most do and make enough money to feed themselves.

We have sikhs in Assam as well and they respect our culture and language. Most of them celebrate festivals with us. They are truly the gems of India and they woudn't withstand someone who insults others culture.
Cool! Assamese Sikhs? I never heard of Sikhism in Assam , well that is great for Assam and bharat then
Hinduism is better
@@ranjeetsharma4209
We are all one!we are united!
@@ranjeetsharma4209 Hinduism doesn't taught us that Hinduism is better but taught us every religion is great.
@@mrlucifer8455 No only hinduism is the correct I am talking to you right now hinduism is the right religin.
I love seeing the people look out for each other, from the food donations, to the volunteers. Thankful pockets like this still exist.
Sikh is my favourite community in the world. They're literally the irreplaceable gem of India. And let's not forget the fact that the Golden temple is open for EVERYONE. People usually come here to do their service to humanity on their own will.
i've heard that sikh people have gone out distributing food to the homeless in countries such as canada and America , hats off to them , i feel proud to live in a country along with such heroes ! :)
The gurdwara in my area was doing boxed meals for people in need during the pandemic (in really impressive numbers), and the attitude was just, hey, it's what we do. Not looking for accolades, just helping out because people were in need.
They have set up langars in war torn countries like Syria too. Search for Ravi Singh of Khalsa Aid charity.
And in war torn Syria, Iraq too
Lots of white christians do the same thing I guess we're "heroes" too
@@hallucinatedovens8414 Not in this scale they don't
The scale this operates at is just staggering - and a testament to the Sikh community. Great video.
From Miami This is unbelievable! God bless them ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
Not a Sikh, but still proud of them and my country 🙏🏻❤️
Jo bole So Nihal 🙌🏻🇮🇳
Sat sri akal 🙏🏼
Sikh people are the best. They have the biggest hearts. My neighbours are sikh and it great to be surrounded by such awesome people.
Long live hinduism
@@ranjeetsharma4209 Shut up and get out of here
@@ranjeetsharma4209 report him ruining name of hindu
100,000 people and free. This is so great!
@@yenle7296 umm no it doesn't the langar works on our money in which we do Seva selfless service
@@guranshkaursaggu1352 yes but it's free for people eating
@@amirpenkar947 yes that the main seva that we are trying to fulfill
Yeah ask dalit
Yes this langar is free for everyone, regardless if the caste, colour or religion. AS long as u have beating heart. U can come sit side by side and enjoy the food. It's of 24/7 for whole year. This langar is so tasty. No food in the world is more tasty than this. U can try just find Gurudwara near you.
Incredible and amazing that world's largest kitchen is run with the donations of the Sikh community to feed visitors and devotees, without any discrimination. Sikh community is always well-known for their generosity, humanity, kindness to the needful and donations.🙏🙏
I was there, and it is really an incredible place. We also slept there. They gave the foreigners a special room so we’d feel comfortable. The kindest people in the whole 🌍
My dad once told me that it isn't the size of the house that matters, its the size of the host's heart.... and these guys have heart. Even as a Christian, I respect their religion because of that.
Also, Sikhism isn't responsible for global white supremacy. What do you think of that "as a Christian"? lol
@@fun_ghoul Nothing. Clown
@@fun_ghoul whoa where did that come from. chill out.
@@fun_ghoul who hurt you, baby girl?
@@pbjracing14yearsago49 The centuries of colonial oppression dressed with the moral façade of "spreading the true word of christ"?
Huge fan of the Sikhs. Amazing history. Incredible warriors. Worthy friends.
Im not trying to draw similarities out of spite but as a former Christian I have never seen such selflessness and love for your fellow man as I have here in these videos about the golden temple.
You are all blessed
Incredible. My utmost respect to the Sikh community worldwide.
Did anyone see the cabbage leaf protectors on the volunteer cutting onion? Brilliant. Amazing operation
You should visit there u will be amazed :)
Those are plastic bags actually. but they do look like cabbage leaves!
Probably no band aids to cover cuts and scrapes in Punjab.
That's a plastic bag. Maybe he doesn't want his fingers to smell or just had a cut.
this is the nicest more wholesome thing I have ever seen an organized religion do. thank you for been so good to our fellow peoples
*It is not organized.
@@manurr10 yes it is. Guru ghobind singh ji made the khalsa pant
@@sourtaco1115 bro khalsa pant is the sikh religion no?
While living in Portland Oregon I volunteered to do some cooking for a charity I cooked for 40 120 people every Sunday we never knew how many people would come for the meal it was quite a challenge and I love doing it every Sunday
MIND BLOWING ..... India is a truly an amazing and beautiful place mostly because of its people XX
None of them are rushing because it's spiritual. And that's why it feels as if it's home cooked...
It is home-cooked, in the home of the guru.
@@fun_ghoul very nice words
The culture in Punjab is just genuinely so beautiful. Even coming from a different religion, a lot of these values from sikhism have just become a part of who I am and I'm quite happy about that. Words can't express the joy I feel when I hear someone speaking punjabi in my predominantly white town
Thank you Sharma ji for nice comments about our Sikh brothers
This is about the 8th time I've watched this. Can't wait to visit the golden temple.

Sikhism is one of the few current religions I truly admire. What a beautiful faith.
Ive been to the Golden Temple and its a sight to behold,im not a religious person but its one of my favourite places in the world
The fact that its open to anyone is worth of praise
The Sikh community of India is the most helpful in the world. They feed millions of people in their langars all across the globe, irrespective of their religion, race or creed. Whenever a natural calamity happens or any help needed, the Sikh community is always the first to offer help with utmost dedication and selflessness.
Wahe Guru Ji Da Khalsa Waheguru Ji Di Fateh 🙏🙏🙏
Sikhs have selflessly given to India and the general community so much, it’s beyond measure.
From feeding the hungry without any discrimination to selflessly serving the community, these Sikhs are the backbone and pride of India.
What a community! I am from Mumbai and have been to a local gurudwara for a langar. The food is simple yet brilliant. So good, it touches the soul. Plus, the warm hearted Sikh people in the gurudwara make you feel welcome.
Massive respect! 🤗
Why has the Hindu government never held anyone responsible for the massacre and genocide of Sikhs in 1984? It’s just glossed over
Have huge respect for Sikhs. Though I'm not a sikh I donate every month for langar every month for my near by gurudwara. Unfortunately no time to volunteer being a single working mother. Waheguru ji di khalsa, waheguru ji di fateh.
Sikhs are the true angels here on earth. I cannot wait to go see the Golden Temple.
I'm amazed by the number of people that they help each day but I'm even more amazed by the number of volunteers. It's heartening to see so many people doing so much good without seeking gain.
Sikhs are easily some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Open-minded, accepting people. Bless em
Deep respect for such a community service.
This is absolutely astonishing, I've seen catering on large scales but this is breathtaking.
Indeed it is
Yes this langar is free for everyone, regardless of the caste, colour or religion. AS long as u have beating heart. U can come sit side by side and enjoy the food. It's 24/7 for whole year. This langar is so tasty. No food in the world is more tasty than this. U can try just find Gurudwara near you. This selfless service is going all around the world wherever Sikhs reside.
Did you cry? It a village. This is how they feed villages. Calm down
@@hallucinatedovens8414 Wtf is your problem dude? Why are you in every comment, spreading negativity?
@@aditidas1070 oh sorry I didn't know this video was your little personal safe space bubble, it's the internet kiddo, refute my points, or you're just crying
Sikhs have a different level of compassion always
Absolute respect
I have only been previously familiar with sikhism because there was 1 sikh family in my tiny florida town but i was never familiar with the practice or community culture of this group. Its extremely beautiful and we could all learn something from the sense of community in Sikhism. Thank you for this enlightening video. I hope the langar and its community is still doing okay
This is what I admire about Indians in general, they work together better than any community I have seen.
In India we believe in "athiti dev bhawa", it means Guest is God.
In our wedding if we invite 300 people then we make meals for 450 people. This how things operate India. However, the things are changing and people are becoming more selfish in City centres.
I'm an atheist so far as that I don't believe in a higher power or God figure, but Sikhism has to be the most compelling religion to me. No fuss, no prejudice, just a community of genuinely kind people helping each other and those around them however and whenever they can. That's the kind of world we should all be inspired to make.
Have u read Japji Sahib ?
@@PHEROMONE-wz9bz Can't say that I have unfortunately?
@@_IHateHandles_ it's very first message revealed to Guru Nanak Sahib,U should read that once btw Growing up i too found ppl weird/stupid believing in imaginary God but after I lost my dad when I was 16 i want to know What will happen to the person after death so my interest grows in dis stuff.
Even Sikh Gurus insist on experiencing Godliness around u than just blindly believing someone up there with white beard, To Experience him they told us to wake up before dawn (3am to 6am) & chant God's name to experience Divine bliss far greater than any drugs. Jesus Christ told the same "hallowed be thy name", same in Sufi tradition of Islam insists on making relationship with Lord.
Its just a combo of hindu and islam. some parts
@@ennakavi2129 not really.. all religions spread message of peace but they all have different ideology. I don’t want to say anything bad about Islam but that’s a completely different religion and with some very “different”practices.
There’s a sikh community here in Montreal and they are such charitable people. We always see them donating bunches and bunches at food drives and are usually doing some kind of volunteer or charity work in the community.
and sponsoring khalistanis anti india movement
Incredible India
Yes! We need more episodes of “Big Batches”! Thanks so much Food Insider 😁
Just imagine if all of us humans helped each other selflessly. Regardless of color, gender, age, this is my dream. Just know I appreciate everyone of you reading this and hope you have a great day. 🙃. BTW Thanks for all the Love.
you too have a great day! hopefully one day we achieve to respect and help each other without looking at color of the skin.. GBU ❤️
best comment here
@@Crazzomiez @mr.speed I appreciate the both of you. I hope you both are having a great day. smiles all around
Imagine .If we just treated everyone as humans ...
If the world comes together under one religion, Sikhism would be my pick, and I was raised Catholic.
Never met a Sikh I didn't like.
