Continuing our engagement with faith groups across the Province, an invitation has been extended for us to visit the Temple as part of a guided tour to help develop an understanding of the Sikh code of conduct and philosophy. Wives and partners are welcome to attend.
Food will be served in the Langar, embodying Sikh values of equality, service, and compassion by providing free food to all and bringing people together to eat as equals.
More information
Sikhism offers a distinct prospective to life and humanity by observing that we all belong to that Great Universal Being who is without form and shape.
What to expect when visiting
- Cover your head:
Both men and women should cover their heads. Headscarves or “ramaals” are often provided by the gurdwara.
- Remove your shoes:
You will need to take off your shoes before entering the main hall. Some places may also require you to remove socks.
- Dress modestly:
Avoid shorts and tank tops. Wear comfortable clothing that you can sit in on the floor.
- Respect
It is obligatory for every Sikh, to show the utmost respect to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji (Sacred Scripture) on approaching the Manji Sahib, who usually bow down on their knees, often touching the floor with their foreheads. However, it is regarded as dignified for a non-Sikh visitor to show respect to the Sikh “Holy Scriptures” by bowing or standing still for a second and then moving away with a respectful nod.
Key features of langar
- Free and open to all:
Anyone is welcome to eat in the langar, with no charge and no questions asked about their religion, caste, or social status.
- Vegetarian food:
The meals are vegetarian and are often lactose-free and alcohol-free, making them inclusive for people of all faiths.
- Volunteer-run:
Sikhs volunteer to cook, clean, and serve meals as an act of selfless service (seva).
- Promotes equality:
Everyone sits on the floor to eat together, promoting the idea that all are equal.
- An act of compassion:
The practice is rooted in the principle of compassion and fighting hunger by sharing food with those in need.
- Eat with others:
People sit in rows on the floor to eat, though the gurdwara has some tables and chairs for the elderly or disabled.
- Take only what you can eat:
It’s important to avoid food waste by taking only what you can finish.
