The first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak created Langar for several reasons, the primary ones being because he wanted equality for all and a removal of caste barriers among the people. For this reason, a community kitchen exists for all devotees and visitors to eat together. The Sikh Gurdwara San Jose operates one of the largest Sikh community kitchen programs in the United States. Langar (community meal) is prepared for about 1,000 people on weekdays and over 7,500 people on weekends. On Diwali (Festival of Lights) and New Year’s Eve / Day, Langar is prepared for over 15,000 people. https://sanjosegurdwara.org/documents/The_Significance_of_Langar.pdf
