Gurdwara eat free vegetarian food brought in by Sikhs worshiping at the "gurdwara". They may also have a library, nursery, classroom, meeting rooms, a gift shop, and finally a repair shop. A "gurdwara" can be identified from a distance by tall flagpoles bearing the "Nishan Sahib", the Sikh flag. The most well-known "gurdwara" is the Harmandir Sahib (popularly known as The Golden Temple) in Amritsar, Punjab, India, which is the center of power (Akal Takht) of Sikhism. The first "gurdwara" was built in Kartarpur, on the banks of Ravi River in the Punjab region by the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak
Sikh feminism ruled a misunderstanding. Any man or woman is welcome in the Temple and accepted in all prayers and recitations of the Guru Granth Sahib. Every Temple has a Langar (kitchen) where people of any gender and from any faith, ethnicity or cultural background, are welcome to a free vegetarian meal. Everyone eats on the floor together to show social equality. Despite the fact it is not prohibited for men and women to sit together, traditionally they still sit on opposite of the congregation in the Darbar Sahib Hall (main hall), both equal distances from the Guru Granth Sahib.
