biggest kitchen the golden temple also known as Harmandir Sahib happens to

feed around 100,000 visitors every single day and get this the food is free

is welcome to eat regardless of gender caste or religion the kitchen in the

golden temple never closes and is run by countless volunteers who devote their

time to cook serve and clean for visitors who pass through every hour of

the day I had visitied Amritsar's golden temple (Harmandir Sahib) once before

on my very first trip to india over ten years ago but this time around i was

joined by deepak from Amritsar walking tours having him as a guide allowed me

to experience the golden temple in a completely different way and it was a

day I won't soon forget but I'm getting ahead of myself let's kick off this

like it just feels so tight and secure the selection of the colors of your

turban according to your OS is unbelievable unbelievable it's the best

there are five things which were one baptized ik have to be ver all the time

and all these things starting from the capital world came like Cara the bangles

the second one is Keira pan which is of daggers the third one is of Katara

Katara means undergarments a small undergarment just like a boxer short and

the fourth one is a conga conga is a small comb and the fifth one is a cage

cage means long here's the baptized six don't cut their hair and eat these

things has its own symbolic reasons when I'm going with my turban just like you

and turban is it just like a crown just like a crown for sing it is not actually

the fashion it is a religion it is a religion yeah it's their faith it's very

comfortable isn't it is it often just relax

yes relax saying thank you my friend thank you so much it is time to go to

the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) and I think the first thing we're gonna do is maybe have

breakfast in the world's largest kitchen

right side you can see Jalalabad memorial it is a place where more than

2000 people Indian people killed by British Oh in

the day of 1919 before Indian independence so there is a well inside

there is a sign of world inside so whosoever is it coming over here

especially the domestic people after visit the golden temple within this

place also

so next up we're gonna be taking off our shoes so that we can go inside

as soon as you get in you're mesmerized by the sight of the golden temple and

just by the sheer amount of people visiting there's so many people lined up

guys here is the line to get inside of the golden temple (Harmandir Sahib) and it's very long

Cecelia cow so we reach golden temple temple where there is a no religion no

caste no person is up noise at though everybody's the same over here golden

temple was founded by 4 Sigma sir Shri Guru ramadasa ji the fourth sikh

spiritual master so this sample is a more than 400 years old

however presently we call it golden temple (Harmandir Sahib) because actually the gold is

plated outside that main temple but its actual name is Harmandir Sahib a a name

which was given by its founder 4 Sikh masters so this temple is not dedicated

to any specific Gordon Gurdas like in Hinduism there are many but this temple

is dedicated to one and only one which is God which is same for me for you for

everyone there are three principal in Sikhism and followed by each and every

Sikh through our his lifetime the first is here at guru which means do your

works honestly whatever you are living the life be honest all the time the

second one is Nam japa recite the name of the Lord all the time you are happy

you are sad but remember God all the time and the third one is a one shadow

one cycle means sharing the food sharing your things with other and this is

exactly the three things which you can see here which you can feel over here

every hour roughly 10,000 people come here for a meal

and this place is open 24 hours so there's a lot of people passing through

every single day at any time of the evening night morning it's pretty

incredible

it's incredible that everyone here is a volunteer

now I'm taking you to the place where there is a big machine over the earth

which is making Indian flatbread which we go on for Java in the lenders to come

with let's go check it out yes come with me

8,000 flat breads yes I asked you to volunteer who is a drink service over

here how many flat breads coming out within a one-hour he told me are eight

thousands it's amazing so friends we have a rich to the Admiral operational

area of the Golden Temple the langar area where the dal the lanterns the

kheer the sweet dish and the vegetables cooked over here come with me there is a

very very huge utensils in which the food is being prepared completely

thanks I'm good here's a different yellow you get that they know are to be

thought of again there was no part of this okay so he's a main chef over here

and here you can see the big utensils over here which is of making 500 kgs of

dal and once being cooked over here it's not available yes and on daily basis in

one day near about 20 to 27 windows of daal being cooked over here

Deepak it was incredible getting to see how everything is prepared yes if you

think we both worked up an appetite we didn't have breakfast this morning let's

go get something now I'm taking you to the langar dining hall yeah

where the thousands of people can sit together and have a meal set once

cleaning is one of the most important tasks and aspect in Sikhism of cleaning

the floor - cleaning the utensils I told you thousands of people having their

meals in a day so the cleaning utensils is one of the you know the important

tasks it is it not done without the help of volunteers it is 24 hours it's just

the love of governments here people they are not employee over here it is just

their love so that they've done the match and the very good job

my friend you can see this is a lantern makhni dal with the chickpeas chole

with a sweet dish which we call heat with a flat head which we call her Chara so

it's it all together we call langar because it's a cord you know who

when anybody asked the Deepak which is the best restaurant in Amritsar my

answer is the golden temple langar is the best

the food is a priceless the Buddhism making with the love serving it

and eating it love this is a gurus langar guru means a spiritual master

so spiritual masters restaurant where there is a no religion no caste you don't

know the next person who will sit with you why he's our King he's a slave it is a

started by the first master you do not have safety to making equality

not only oh my gosh are so good everything is delicious it's amazing to

watch house prepare it everyone comes over to serving the individual dishes

one by one it's incredible experience and from eating with this many people

you just feel a kind of energy in here it was a positive energy in here you

really feel

coming to the golden temple is one of the most impressive things you can do

not just in India not just in Amrtisar Punjab things out but anywhere in the world

this place is special everyone is welcome as it is everyone is

welcome it's amazing walking around and seeing the golden temple from different

vantage points but the most impressive thing to do by far is to go into the

large dining hall and have a meal here it's incredible the sense of community

and just the volunteerism that's here people come they dedicate themselves to

serving others it's a very special place and at the feeling of austerity just the

feeling of austerity the hospitality of the people yes is she coming from the

heart of the tea there's a special energy here and I want to thank you
