Langars Integral Part Of Yatra
6/13/2025 11:41:04 PM
Langars (community kitchens) have always remained an integral part of annual Amarnath Yatra. This year around 125 langars will be set up from Lakhanpur (gateway to J&K) to the cave shrine nestled in the Himalayas. The trucks carrying langar material and infrastructural equipment to install sheds are on their way to J&K and the process of installing langars will be completed by the end of this month.
The sacred Amarnath Yatra is not merely a spiritual journey—it is a living embodiment of India’s age-old values of service, compassion, and communal harmony.
Apart from the Yatra routes, more than 50 langars will be installed from Lakhanpur to Srinagar and Pahalgam and Baltal after being permitted by the Amarnath Shrine Board to the langar organisations.
The langar organisations from Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and other states will be setting up community kitchens enroute to the Cave Shrine.
Shri Amarnath Shrine Board has also finalised the food menu for the langar organisations and asked them to avoid oily items. The Board has also encouraged the pilgrims to eat nutritious and healthy food.
Langars do much more than provide food. They represent the unity of India, where people come together in service. It’s not uncommon to see everyone working side-by-side, sharing food and compassion. In many ways, langars are the beating heart of the Yatra, where pilgrims find more than sustenance—they find comfort, empathy, and spiritual fraternity.
These community kitchens also play a critical logistical role in the smooth functioning of the Yatra. With thousands of devotees participating every day during the pilgrimage window, langars help ease the burden on local infrastructure. They ensure that no pilgrim goes hungry, regardless of their economic condition or caste.
As the country continues to navigate through the challenges of modern life, traditions like the Amarnath Yatra and its langars serve as timeless reminders of India’s collective spirit—a spirit where service is worship and humanity is the greatest religion.
In saluting the langar volunteers and organisers, we also reaffirm our belief in the transformative power of community service. For in every steaming plate of food served with love on the Yatra route, lies a silent prayer—of peace, unity, and devotion.
