Is ਲੰਗਰੁ food prepared by Amritdhari or the kitchen where food is prepared?

Is ਲੰਗਰੁ food prepared by Amritdhari or the kitchen where food is prepared? According to Mahan Kosh, it is defined as ਰਸੋਈ ਦਾ ਘਰ.

ਦੇਗ is the term used for the food prepared by Amritdhari. Please share your view.

If Tat-Gurmat Bibeki Rehat Maryada is followed then both the Food and the place where food is prepared can be called Langar. In Gurmat it is a comprehensive word to include everything in the process, Tyar-bar-tyar Amritdhari Laangri, Sarbloh bhandey, Reciting Baani, Clean Kitchen premises, Bibeki food ingredients etc... Degh is also interchangeably being used for Langar because it means large cooking vessle.

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

The word Langar is used mostly for food prepared. Here is a proof of that in everyday language:

1. ਗੁਰੂ ਕਾ ਲੰਗਰ ਤਿਆਰ ਹੈ।
2. ਗੁਰੂ ਕਾ ਲੰਗਰ ਛਕਣ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਨੀ ਜੀ।
3. ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰੇ ਵਿਚ ਗੁਰੂ ਕਾ ਲੰਗਰ ਸਦਾ ਚਲਦਾ ਹੈ।

The above everyday statements prove that Guru ka Langar mostly means food prepared according to Gurmat Maryada.

Langar originally could have meant such place where Langar is prepared but now a days, this word is mostly used as food.

I agree with Bhai Kulbir SIngh, may be it meant something else previously but its best to be interpreted as Food prepared by Amritdhari Sikhs.

These days also in English *Langar Ghar* is commonly known as Community Kitchen ( I don't think its a relevant english translation) but anyhow I have seen Gurdwaras using this term.

Vaheguroo Jee kaa Khalsaa
Vaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!

Veer Kulbir Singh Jeeo, in this way shall Gatka be used for Sikh Martial Arts? Where as according to Mahan Kosh and many puritan Singhs Gatka is a stick used for practicing Martial Arts ਗਤਕਾ = ਸ਼ਸਤ੍ਰ ਵਿਦਿਆ ਦੀ ਸਿਖ੍ਯਾ ਦਾ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਅੰਗ ਸਿਖਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਡੰਡਾ, ਜੋ ਤਿੰਨ ਹੱਥ ਲੰਮਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ?

Shall we accept the current terminology and teach the same to the kids? I personally have mostly used the term shastar vidhia for Sikh martial arts...
