The Indian city where no one goes hungry


The spirit of generosity in Sikhism can be seen across the world. During Covid lockdown, Sikh volunteers in a gurudwara in England delivered thousands of meals a day to NHS staff, while Sikhs in various US cities cooked hundreds of thousands of free meals. 
In crisis or emergency situations, Sikhs have rallied their full force to help those in need, whether it may be storm-hit Canada or cyclone-struck New Zealand.
 But in Amritsar, the beating heart of the Sikh religion, the fulfilment of seva is taken to another level. 
It is known throughout India that no person ever has to go to bed hungry in Amritsar. 
That's because there is always a hot meal ready for anyone who should want it at the Golden Temple, the most significant shrine of the Sikh religion.
