Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is one of the most prominent Sikh Gurdwara located in C.P. New Delhi on Baba Kharak Singh Marg and is instantly recognizable by its golden dome and tall flagpole Nishan Sahib.
Gurdwara Bangla Sahib was originally a bungalow belonging to Raja Jai Singh. The eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan ji resided here during his stay in Delhi in 1664.
On weekdays, approximately 25,000-30,000 people eat at the langar in this Gurdwara. On weekends, the numbers go up to a staggering 45,000.
Every day around 700 kilos of daal, 250-300 kilos of rice, 1,000 kilos of vegetables and 80,000-1 lakh rotis are prepared. The two big iron kadhai (wok) make around 500 kilos of sabji and 300 kilos of rice at a time, while each of the six copper pots churn out around 150 kilos of daal.
Anyone and everyone can work in the kitchen. In fact, volunteers do more work than the gurudwara staff in preparing meals. The only rule that one has to adhere to is “serve with clean hands” indicating the importance of hygiene.
