Candidate day at the Raj Khalsa Gurdwara in Sterling! We were introduced and then got to say a few words to the congregation in the langar hall.
Gurdwaras, or Sikh houses of worship, all have a free kitchen that serves simple, vegetarian meals to everyone, no questions asked.

The three pillars of Sikhism (naam jappo, or meditation, vand chhakko, or sharing, and kirat karo, or earn an honest living) are practiced here. Sikhism originated in the Punjab province of India and Pakistan, which also is my ancestral homeland.
The Punjab province was split during the 1947 partition, but Sikhs, Muslims, and Hindus still share family ties that defy borders. I chatted with several congregants who excitedly told me about their parents and grandparents who hailed from what is now Pakistan.
