From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Filipino cooking method also called pangat, see Pinangat.
Pangat (Punjabi: ਪੰਗਤ (Gurmukhi)) is a word derived from the Sanskrit word pankti (पङ्क्ति) that means a line, a row, or a group. It is a synonym for Guru Ka Langar. In a Pangat, food is served by volunteers (Sevadars) to people of all religions who sit together to eat.[1] Pangat is about eating food while sitting in rows with no discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, race, ethnicity, gender, religion or economic status.[2] According to the beliefs of Sikhism, nobody sleeps without eating, nor should anybody die of hunger.
