Lights, Laughter, and Love: How We Celebrated Tihar at Bajra
Tihar, the festival of lights, is a colourful festival with immense cultural significance in Nepal. It’s a five-day celebration as a time of togetherness and reverence. At Bajra, we believe in the importance of cultural heritage, so we wholeheartedly wanted to share the joy of Tihar and embrace the vibrant spirit of the festival of lights within our workplace.
Pre-Tihar Decorations: Illuminating Bajra with Colors of Festive Lights
The intricate decorations of our office with colourful lights, flowers, and Diyas set the mood of joy. The preparations for colourful rangolis were also being made, setting the perfect mood for the festivities.
The joyous ambience echoed through every employee’s heart, and the excitement could be seen in their activities. The impatience led many to start the celebrations before the scheduled hour.
Dress and Attire: Celebrating Diversity and Culture
Even though there was no designated dress code, the office buzzed with a diverse set of colours and patterns as the team members proudly showcased their authenticity, adding an extra layer of festivity.
Engaging Activities: Rangoli, Games, and Team Bonding
Rangoli design was one of the engaging activities to showcase team collaboration. It also made the occasion more fun and interactive. The Rangoli-making participants combined their efforts to turn plain spaces into vibrant artworks, where each person’s creativity knew no bounds.
The rangoli-making process strengthened the bond among colleagues, enhancing the sense of togetherness and fostering camaraderie.
Culinary Delights: Indulging in a Feast
Of course, no celebration is complete without food, so it became the soulful thread weaving together moments of joy, laughter, and cultural warmth in the heart of the Tihar celebration at Bajra.
We had a feast of traditional delicacies, like salty and chilly homemade chips, enticing our taste buds with its rich flavour and aroma. It brought us together as we shared the plates alongside the funny incidents and stories with each other. Cold drinks gave a delightful touch to our feast and the celebration.
Spreading Joy Beyond the Office: Tihar Wishes and Sweets
Our celebration was not just limited to the workspace but extended beyond office walls. To spread the joy of Tihar, we delivered savoury sweets, cute greeting cards, and warm festive wishes to each employee’s house. It was our way of expressing gratitude and celebrating the festival, not just as colleagues but as a close-knit family bound by the thread of shared traditions and values.
Conclusion
In essence, the Tihar celebration of 2080 proved to be a memorable and meaningful event that brought us closer as a team and family. We enjoyed the festive atmosphere, the engaging activities, the delicious snacks, and the cultural diversity among ourselves.
We also shared the joy of Tihar with our colleagues who could not join us in person by sending them sweets and wishes. So, we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our culture and heritage together and look forward to more such events in the future.
