Langar
Lahore’s fame has spread deep into the climes of Central Asia. Its old fortified city, the banks of a river Ravi and the motley collection of artisans, masons, artists, poets and musicians are all too well known.
I reconnect you with the Data Darbar or the royal pavilion of the great saint of Lahore. Standing near the tomb is a fabulous experience, for it brings together the innate diversity of our cultures and faiths.
Langar, the distribution of food, at the Sufi Khanqah is a centuries-old tradition. It allows devotees to eat together, feed the hungry and attend to an exhausted traveler and is a means of redistributing wealth. Data Darbar is also an important location, for it feeds thousands of people every day through the complex networks of langar, its financiers, distributors and organisers.
“Sufism is the heart’s being, pure from the pollution of discord.”
