Hungry children feast at 'langars' for Amarnath pilgrims

Free kitchens or 'langars' set up along the highway for pilgrims on their way to the Hindu cave shrine of Amarnath are awaited with yearning by children in nearby villages. For, that's when the little boys and girls - who go hungry for most part of the year - get a chance to feast on snacks, sweetmeats, ice creams and what not and even carry some food back home.11:00 AM on July 17

Guru ka Langar is unique celebration of life. I have fond memories of my participation in "langars" with fellow pilgrims to various Gurudwaras in Amritsar and other parts of Punjab. Hats off to our benevolent Sikh community for their generosity, magnanimity and hospitality. Thanks for the fine report on "langars" for Amarnath pilgrims.
