Following the teaching of ten enlightened leaders, or Gurus, Sikhs pursue salvation through disciplined personal meditation in the name and message of God, or Waheguru. The fifth largest religion in the world, Sikhism has about 23 million members worldwide, most of whom live in the state of Punjab, India. In their religion's spirit of living honestly and sharing what they can with their community, Sikhs commonly hold Langars, or large all-vegetarian meals in which all participants sit down to eat as equals. Seen here are Sikhs and others of various backgrounds enjoying Langhar at a Gurudwara, or Sikh temple,in Spain. Started by the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev, Langar promotes the underlying Sikh value of inclusiveness and equality among ethnicity, creed, and gender.
