Southern California Sikh community feeds thousands people every month

California, Dec 30: The upcoming Rose Parade on New Year's Day in South California will witness a huge langar.

'Langar Sewa' is a Sikh tradition of offering food to people.

The Southern California Sikh community feeds an estimated thousands of people across the greater Los Angeles every month. The Sikh community will now arrrange special langar on New year's Rose parade Day.

Formally called the 'Tournament of Roses', the parade is a 129-year-old American tradition that attracts up to one million visitors and is broadcast live across the US.

"Growing up in California, it was always a dream to see a Sikh float in the Tournament of Roses Parade," said Bhajneet Singh, a member of the Sikh committee responsible for the float entry for the fourth consecutive year.

"The theme of langar really speaks the values of Sikhism and the work that we are doing to help our communities every day here in California and across the world," he said.
