the religion of the travelers.
The langar was started first in Nanded by local Sikh businessmen but then it was taken over by the Gurudwara.
There is free pickup and drop off facility from Gurudwara Langar Sahib and Gurudwara Sachkhand everyday for this train and all the other major trains arriving and leaving Hazur Sahib Nanded Station.
