At weddings, the 'Khana Peena' is often the most discussed topic. If the food is late or cold, it is considered a major social embarrassment for the host. Shrines often provide 'Langar' (free food). Here, 'Khana Peena' is a symbol of divine equality where the rich and poor eat the same meal. Lahore is famous for its 'Khana Peena'. The phrase is used as a badge of honor for the city's residents who are known as 'Zinda-dilan-e-Lahore' (The lively-hearted of Lahore). During Ramadan, the 'Khana Peena' is restricted to night hours. The phrase is used to discuss the 'Iftar' parties which are central to community bonding.
