India

The biggest kitchen in the world

A one-week documentation of the Golden Temple’s community kitchen in Amritsar, India, recognized as the world’s largest kitchen. Operating 24/7, the immense facility relies on a continuous stream of volunteers to prepare and serve upwards of 70,000 free meals daily, scaling up to 350,000 during festivals like Diwali. The coverage captures the massive, volunteer-driven operation and the profound egalitarian tradition where visitors of all backgrounds, faiths, and social classes sit together on the floor to share a communal meal as equals.
