Community Kitchen, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, New Delhi, India

Despite the low resolution, I think this is such an interesting image and is worthy of posting in these 20 years of WWP collection. This is a fantastic insight into the amazing generosity of the Sikh community at the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib that feeds as many as 15,000 to 40,000 people in a day.

The Gurudwara Bangla Sahib kitchen feeds the hungry 24/7, 365 days a year. The food is cooked in an industrial-sized kitchen that works like clockwork and is a study in efficient management. The buzz of the dining hall barely reaches the kitchen, which is strangely serene considering at any given point in the day the cooks are preparing to serve thousands of people.

Every day the kitchen cooks and serves 800 kilograms (1,760 pounds) of vegetable curry and daal (lentils), chapattis made out of 1,700kg (3,750lb) of wheat flour, and 400kg (880lb) of rice. The kitchen feeds around 35,000 people each day and about 100,000 people on special occasions or Sikh festivals.

The community kitchen at the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is one of the most prominent Sikh gurdwara, or Sikh house of worship, in Delhi, India and known for its association with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan, as well as the pool inside its complex, known as the "Sarovar." [Wikipedia]
