Sangat line up in rows and dine sitting side by side on the gurdwara langar dining hall floor. Men and women may sit in different areas, or in family groups according to whim. No difference in caste, color, creed or rank is observed. Sevadars serve the sangat, walking between the lines of the diners, offering helpings of gur ka langar, blessed food and drink, until everyone has eaten their fill.
