Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using Langar Finder to discover free community meals and Gurudwaras near you.

What is langar?

+

Langar is the Sikh tradition of a free community kitchen open to people of all religions, castes, and backgrounds. It is served at Gurudwaras (Sikh temples) and by community volunteers worldwide.

Is Langar Finder free to use?

+

Yes. Langar Finder is completely free for everyone. Langar itself is always free, and this platform is too.

How do I find a langar near me?

+

Click "Search Near Me (GPS)" on the homepage to allow location access and instantly see verified Gurudwaras and langars within 20 km of your current position.

How do I add a Gurudwara or langar listing?

+

Create a free account and click "Add a Langar" in the navigation. Fill in the name, address, timing, and food items. Your listing will be reviewed and approved by our moderators within 24–48 hours.

How are listings verified?

+

Listings are marked "Verified" after our community moderators confirm the information via direct contact or on-ground verification. Listings that receive 20 or more community "Likes" are automatically flagged for priority verification.

What is a "Regular Feeder"?

+

A Regular Feeder is an individual or organisation that provides free meals on a daily or weekly basis — not necessarily at a Gurudwara. These can be community kitchens, NGOs, or volunteer groups.

What is a "Historical Gurudwara"?

+

Historical Gurudwaras are shrines of significant religious or historical importance within Sikhism — for example, those associated with the ten Sikh Gurus.

A listing has wrong information. How do I report it?

+

Open the listing page and click the "Report" button. Describe the issue and submit. Our team will review and update the listing promptly.

Can I use Langar Finder outside India?

+

Yes! We welcome listings from anywhere in the world where Gurudwaras and langar are active. Use the "Add a Langar" form and select the appropriate region.

How do I join the WhatsApp community?
