A Sikh temple in India’s capital city continues its centuries-old mission of providing free meals to the needy during the coronavirus lockdown.
At first, the kitchen at the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara was cooking 40,000 meals a day for the hungry who live on the streets of India’s capital city, or who have lost their livelihoods to the coronavirus lockdown.
The Bangla Sahib Gurdwara has remained open through wars and plagues, serving millions of people simple vegetarian food on the cool marble floor of its enormous dining hall. But during India’s ongoing lockdown — among the world’s most stringent — religious gatherings are banned.Bangla Sahib has kept its kitchen open, with the help of about four dozen men who sleep in the temple’s guesthouse.
The city government approached the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee just after India’s nationwide lockdown began in late March, according to the committee president, Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
