visiting the Golden Temple in Amritsar and eating Indian food in the world's
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
this community kitchen is known as a langar and it's a place where everyone
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
video
I can't wait I'm weighing a black shirt with the orange turban in here's our guy
looking for stuff up top he's got a lot of shirts up top there alright so I'm so
excited to get my shirt entirely sure what color could be purple that's very
nice I'm not going to take my shirt off

expanding belly yeah me too it's awesome look good I love the color choice you
need to be my fashion coordinator so we got so we have black and it's like a
burgundy yeah we're looking good good okay so the total price was seven
hundred each so 1404 bulbs and that's something like ten dollars ten dollars

feel great you look good in it you I was taking
whiz in Miami but people would look at me strange
you look so good I feel good okay you ever wear anything else after that I
don't know right now like I feel like this is the place of Sevilla you know

like perfect in the middle I look good oh my gosh awesome it's such a good job
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
