Diwali, the festival
of lights is approaching near and you must be thinking of having a good time
celebrating with your boss and colleagues in the office before joining your
family, friends and neighbors for the gala later. This sure is the time to illuminate
your office with lamps, lights and vibrant colors to spread positive energy and
joy all around.
Your enthusiasm
should reflect in how you dress, greet people and participate in decoration
work and other preparations. Here are some exclusive ideas you can suggest and
execute with colleagues, for not every day you’ll get to celebrate the conquest
of good over evil!
Auspicious Colors of Rangoli
Colorful rangolis
have been a time-tested way to intensify the significance of this festival, and
are still relevant. This Diwali, you can put forth the idea of beginning with
making colorful rangolis to beautify your office in a traditional way.
Learn some new
and easy-to-practice designs and include others to make the occasion equally
special for all. Floral rangolis with multi-color art will be fine enough to
become the center of attraction. You can also give ready made wooden rangolis a
try as they’re becoming highly popular now.
Themed Clothing
Another creative
idea that fits the occasion well will be themed clothing for all. You can, for
instance, ask men to come in traditional kurta pajama and women to wear saris.
This will in a way symbolize the belief of ‘unity in diversity’ at your workplace.
If not every day, you can somehow honor the culture of the country where this
festival originated and is celebrated with great enthusiasm by people of
different faiths and cultures.
Cultural Activities
Organize a
cultural function wherein all employees would willingly participate. Most
businesses spend too much on musicians and singers for just a short
performance, but you can instead ask everybody to participate by choosing to
sing, dance or perform a variety of other activities. There is no need to give
it a professional touch, for all you need is to have ‘fun’ by ensuring the
engagement of each and everyone.
Street-food Party
Diwali is the
festival of exchanging sweets and gifts, helping you to make workplace
relationships sweeter & stronger. It would doubtless be a fantastic idea to
arrange a small banquet party! You can arrange economical food caterers to set
up small food stalls within the office.
You need not
think too much about what food items to include, because street foods like
paanipuri, chaat, tikki, vada pao and namkeen interest almost everyone. Also,
it would be a refreshing idea to spend some time playing fun games after the
street food party!
Lakshmi Pooja
No Diwali
celebrations can be complete without Lakshmi Pooja, be it your office or home.
In fact, Lakshmi Pooja is truly important when you are celebrating Diwali in
your office. So, arrange a small Pooja for the well-being of all the employees,
and peace and prosperity in the office.
Get a small idol
of the Goddess Lakshmi, gently place it on the Swastika symbol and take
everybody along to worship it with incense sticks, fresh flowers, rice grains
and kumkum.
Happy Diwali! May
your business flourish this year.
