First Time at The Gurdwara?

• Per CDC Guidelines, we recommend masks be worn inside the Gurdwara premises by those at risk.
• Be modestly attired (no shorts for men or short skirts for women please)
• Cover your head at all times while in Dewan Hall, Langer Hall and Kitchen (no hats or caps please. Rumaals/bandanas available).
• Remove your shoes and wash your hands before entering the Dewan Hall. No shoes are allowed in Langer Hall, Kitchen or the Main Hall.
• Bow respectfully before the Guru Granth Sahib (Holy Book)
• Offer any donation such as flowers, food items, or money.
• Sit quietly on the floor with your legs crossed, and face towards Guru Granth Sahib.
• Benches are provided in the back for those who are handicapped or unable to sit on the floor.
• Please silence your (and if you are with children, theirs as well) phones/electronics.
• Accept prasad, a sanctified delicacy made from flour, butter, and sugar. Please don’t bring any pre-made prasad from home. Instead, you can donate any items like flour, sugar, butter and oil to our kitchen staff.
• Enjoy a free vegetarian meal from the Langar hall – egg or meat-based products are not allowed inside the Gurdwara complex.
• Please make sure that silence is maintained in the main hall, and be respectful of the Guru Granth Sahib at all times while you are in the Main Hall.

Langar/Kitchen Protocol

• Only volunteers doing food service (seva) are allowed in the kitchen for hygiene and safety purposes.
• Small children are not allowed in the kitchen, as there are hot surfaces and frying.
• Please cover your head and remove your shoes before coming into the Langar Hall or kitchen, if you haven’t already done so.
• If there are any leftover Langar items you would like to take, there is a designated spot for that with ziploc bags available. Please only take what you need.
