In a touching twist to an ancient tradition, a viral video posted on the Instagram account ‘@amritsarislive’ has captured the attention of millions of people, showcasing a unique version of the Sikh community service known as langar. The video, which has garnered more than 11 million views, shows a group of Sikh men in Amritsar preparing an innovative snack (a banana smoothie) to serve as part of the community meal.
“Niswarth Seva” meets creativity Langar, a practice rooted in selfless service and equality, typically involves simple but nutritious meals prepared in large kitchens to feed people from all walks of life, regardless of their background. In this case, the men gave the traditional langar a modern twist by making a creamy banana milkshake.

The sight of the bananas carefully arranged, the milk served and the huge mixer working its magic left the spectators amazed and grateful.
Community spirit in a glass While typical langar meals include staples like lentils, rice and roti, this refreshing banana smoothie surprised and delighted those gathered.

The men prepared the drink in the same spirit of ‘niswarth seva’, asking for nothing in return and at the same time serving the community with equality and care.

Another said, “hanji bhot vadia gal langar hamesha oho lagayo jo sareer layi vadia hove.”
“Langar is always simple food, it is better to help the poor Sikhs in your community,” said a third.
