The Langar, which is how the Pangat is more popularly known, is an instution where divinely inspired service of mankind is practiced unremittantly. Day and night the great Yajna of service goes on. Hundreds of devotees can be seen engaged in cooking, serving, dish-washing, cleaning the utensils and tidying the dining premises. Multitudes are fed in the Sikh langars everyday. This marvelous institution is a means to ensure that none would go hungry in the Kingdom of God. That is why a langar is open to anyone and everyone. Equality of mankind, dignity of labour, welfare of all, and gratitude to the Providence are all practiced together in this unique institution. Sardar Parkash Singh produced a book detailing the various aspects of this institution.
