Where do I read about the full langar and bhandara service?
This page covers the Gurpurab menu and quantities only. For the full langar and bhandara service, including nagar kirtan stalls, serving staff and venue setup, read the langar and bhandara catering page, then send the place, date and headcount to Baljeet on WhatsApp.

Plan about 9 kg of cooked dal for 100 people when it is served with sabzi, rice and roti. It is an approximate planning figure; Baljeet adjusts it to your menu.

Kheer and halwa are the usual choices. If the family or the gurdwara wants karah prasad, say so and it is planned separately from the langar sweet.
